The Writer and Alexa

"Deep summer is when laziness finds respectability."

~ Sam Keen

"Linda's inspiration for her paintings stems from her life on the family's farm, which was home to five generations. Bunnies in the garden, kittens in the hayloft and fuzzy lambs in the meadow were prized finds during her explorations of the farm. Grandma Belle's recollections of her life as a young girl during horse and buggy days always fascinated Linda. Today, Linda finds new and constant inspiration from her surroundings, whether it is a breathtaking sunset or the beautiful snow covered hills of Connecticut."

~ Linda Nelson Website

"Beauty is the promise of happiness."

~ Stendhal

"It's my pleasure to help people that their stressful beliefs - about life, death, other people, or themselves - shift.

"Every artist dips his brush in his own soul, and paints his own nature into his pictures."
