Windjammer Paintings and show how they are created.
Camden, Maine August 22, 2012 In a rare glimpse into an artist¹s world,
Linda Norton will exhibit both finished and unfinished Windjammer paintings
during the Camden Windjammer Festival on August 31 and September 1. Her work
will be exhibited on the Town Landing.
This is a unique opportunity for lovers of art and windjammers to see works in progress outside of an artist¹s studio. Attendees will be able to see
firsthand what a painting looks like during various stages of completion. Linda will also have a brief slide presentation that shows the steps in developing maritime watercolor art.
"The coast of Maine is in my blood,² Linda says. ³I love the sea and salt air. The Schooners, Trawlers and Lobster boats and the inherent beauty and power of the sea. I¹m really excited about being at this year¹s Windjammer
Festival" Linda is a local resident and her special and unique talent can be seen and enjoyed firsthand during the festival.
About Linda Norton Linda has dedicated much of her life to documenting the living history of windjammers in Maine as well as her maternal family¹s involvement in Maine¹s maritime life. Many members of the family made their
living on the sea and Linda¹s work strives to document not only the beauty of the coast and ships, but the people that have sailed and continue to sail Maine waters. Her primary subjects of interest are windjammers, the working waterfront, boat building, and local crews and their personalities.
Concentrating on entering national juried exhibitions by bringing the spirit of Maine to people across the country, Linda shows Maine¹s maritime heritage and beauty and most importantly, the Maine she loves.
Area visitors and maritime enthusiasts are welcome to visit Linda Norton¹s Studio at 109 Bay View Street in Camden. The studio is open through the summer by appointment or by chance. When Linda¹s not out sailing, she¹s busy
working in her studio. She currently has twelve pieces on the easel at various stages of development and many completed works for viewing in the Studio.
