Congratulations to Nancy Gildersleeve who won the framed 5x7 inch painting at my loft studio. It pays to visit my studio.

 

Every morning I wake up to the squirrels playing on the roof. There is a large tree adjacent to my roof and they love to jump back and forth, each one trying more outrageous leaps from roof to tree. I love the freedom they have and the joy of the chase.

 

I'll take a break now until January 2, 2012 from sending the newsletter. There is so much going on for the holidays and I'm sure it is the same for you all. I will be at the loft from Wednesday- Friday this week, so stop by for a cup of coffee and relax from your shopping for a little while. I wish for you the holidays filled with laughter and joy.

Love,

Linda

Why should you visit Linda Blondheim's Loft Studio?

 

I asked my visitors why they like to come to my loft studio. This is what they said:

 

Linda's studio is a real escape, a place to unwind and get away from my crazy life.

 

I love to come to your loft studio to see what you are working on.  You make everyone feel like an old friend. I always get a kick out of coming into Paddiwhack and seeing your neon sign beckoning.  You are down to earth and willing to share ideas and painting tips with other artists.  You were so creative to come up with such a great idea as an open studio in a gallery/store like Paddiwhack.  

 

I enjoy viewing her original art. She always has great stories about the places she paints.

 

The loft is a convenient location with great parking next to Fresh Market in Gainesville.

 

It gives me an opportunity to watch an artist at work and to have a sense of what it must be like to be an artist. Linda is candid and honest.

 

The Loft is a comfortable place to sit and relax after shopping, with no sales pressure.

 

There is always a hot cup of coffee or tea or a snack available. It's a matter of being made to feel "right at home" and my sense is that the snacks are often homemade or otherwise, thoughtfully chosen. The whole atmosphere feels personal and warm.

 

An opportunity to be surrounded by beauty and experience many aspects of an artist's work - not just the more refined and finished pieces on the walls for sale but also the 'browse bin'...which I always gravitate to, not so much because of the lower prices, but because of the history in that bin and the variety of scenes.

 

I like the opportunity to visit with Linda, enjoy the ambience, and see paintings in person; a fun addition to my Paddiwhack visit.

 

Linda makes every visitor feel loved.

 

It's exciting to see the variety of Linda's paintings.

 

Linda's paintings are even more beautiful than the photos at her web site or in her emails.

 

I'm more tempted to buy at her loft studio than from her web site.

 

Her paintings are magnificent.

 

Linda is the real deal and very people savvy.

 

It is inspiring and relaxing at the same time.

 

I feel welcomed.

 

I like coming to talk to you. I found that afternoon I spent with you and the other plein air painters delightful.

 

I love looking at all the beautiful painting of Florida landscapes.  Linda
does such a good job and it's exciting to see new paintings.

Linda's Layaway Plan 

 

 

Own an original painting which will give you a life time of joy. An original painting will last through many generations.It is a unique, one of a kind art with texture and richness that cannot be duplicated. There is no need to buy a reproduction made of ink sprayed on canvas or paper.

 

My layaway plan is an easy, cost effective way to buy the painting you really want. Whether you are buying a small or large painting, you will have the opportunity to purchase with an easy payment plan.

 

No Interest Fees

 

No Storage Fees

 

Make Your Own Payment Schedule

 

Twelve Months to Pay

 

Visit your painting in my Loft Studio whenever you like for the duration of your layaway plan.
