Linda Bail is a painter currently splitting her time between Arizona and Maine. Her primary approach to painting for the past 10 years has been en plein air, preferably finishing a painting at a single sitting.
Often times, those en plein air paintings are taken into the studio to be used as studies or references for larger paintings. This practice couples well with her good fortune to have lived in many parts of the country as each place has its own rich history of art making and offers a contemporary environment of visual complexity and great beauty.
Bail's compositions are inspired by the landscape, including people and object forms and their relationship to the landscape. Docent training at the Cincinnati Museum of Art only increased her curiosity about art, its history, its successful, practicing artists and the skills required to make a painting or sculpture. A pivotal introduction by artist friends to Graham Nickson, the Dean of the New York Studio School deepened her understanding of and commitment to painting.
Bail's paintings can be found in homes across the country. Her current exhibition, "Coast to Coast", at The Present Day Club in Princeton, NJ, is her first solo show.
