Excerpt from March 2017 "news from Linnyland":
HaPpY HaPpY SPRING from Linnyland!!
~All during the month of March Cherry Blossoms paintings have been blooming in Linnyland — two are newly Commissioned paintings and BOTH have Cherry Blossoms AND BOTH are surprise Birthday Gifts… AND that’s all that I’m saying, for now…. more on these in upcoming “news from Linnyland”… PLUS I’ve been busily Springing from one
Guest Speaking engagement to another!
~ The first Guest Speaking engagement was at Art Gallery of Greater Victoria for the Gallery Associates; there was a full house in the Spencer Mansion for “Linny, Linnyland & Linnyism” — where the delightful Gallery Associates travelled along with me on an adventure to Linnyland -- it was such a pleasure to share time with the wonderful Associates!

Linny D Vine at Art Gallery of Greater Victoria/Guest Speaker for AGGV Gallery Associates
~ Then, last week I was at OPUS, Victoria BC Canada for “Let’s All Visit Linnyland” to discuss inspiration, process (and more!) while bringing the Linnyland Lighthouse, the Linnyland VW Van/Bus, and Linnyland Cherry Blossoms all together in one Linnyland painting — it was a great group and we had lots of FUN! Watch for finished painting in next newsletter…

“Linny D Vine Making Magic in Linnyland at OPUS” Spring 2017
~And lastly, this lovely comment from a new Linnyland Collector
that, this March, found her painting at The Gallery in the Oak Bay Village:
“I really love it. It took a year of active searching, so glad to have found it
and so pleased to have met the wonderful artist who did it. Your pictures have so much power in them…"
~And this dear comment from the new Linnyland Collector’s daughter:
"I just looked up Linny d. Vine and realized that I have loved her work for a long time.
I have a mini pic of her road with spring blossoms in Victoria…
I always thought she painted her scenes like they are characters, even though they are usually scenes and buildings.”
** Thank-you, both!!”~Linny

~First, HaPpY Valentine’s Day from Linnyland & Lola -- for Valentine’s the “Cupid’s Family of Linnyland” series continues…
“Lola” is Cupid’s half-sister, and even though she is prone to “flights of fancy”, she has an amazing ability to get her “point(s) across”.
As Lola herself is a wee bit love crazed her arrows deliver the wild, crazy, passionate, sensations of love.”

Excerpt from March 2016 "news from Linnyland":
...in the Linnyland Studio, March has been another Commission month! Here’s the story of the most recent:
Earlier this year a Mother & Daughter visited the home of their friend, (and Linnyland Collector), "Shelley". During their visit, the very thoughtful Mother observed her Daughter’s excited reaction to a Linnyland painting. Shortly after the visit this thoughtful Mother made contact and told of her Daughter and her dear and thoughtful ways, she then arranged for a Commission of a Linnyland painting of her Daughter's choosing. It was such a pleasure to create “Sunset Adventure" from this loving Mother for her loving Daughter — AND both Daughter and Mother LOVE it, they decided that it's the two of them in the Linnyland VW bus/van … Alice and Joanne away on their very own adventure!

friendly and very approachable expressions of sheer joy."
