I am a painter, specializing in bold oil paintings of beautiful women and their gorgeous shoes. My tumblr is a mix of my artwork, sketches and ideas, alongside pieces of the internet that I want to remember and collect. I live in Brighton, and have a studio in the Brighton Seafront Artist Quarter. Visitors to both my blog, and my sunny seaside studio, are always welcome. © Linda Boucher ♥Tumblr (3.0; @lindaboucher)http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/<p>We also have not had anything positive to say about yahoo!, apart from that they might make the video work better.</p> <p>And, we think yahoo! buying us is like dad coming in and breaking up the party.</p> <p>Which rather puts paid to them fixing the video.</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51075204658http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51075204658Wed, 22 May 2013 17:01:00 +0100radio4<p>Radio4 is talking about Tumblr again (on their very excellent Media Show).</p> <p>Apparently we are all young, hip, very engaged, and very attractive people.</p> <p>I am going to take this compliment, and run with it.</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51075076916http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51075076916Wed, 22 May 2013 16:59:22 +0100old<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7e03ca590aa54a6f1cc8ec87165bdf02/tumblr_mmww0eYQlm1r6t9xio1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://gemini-s-eyess.tumblr.com/post/50604473534/brighton-swimming-club-in-1863" target="_blank">gemini-s-eyess</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span class="auto-style5">Brighton Swimming Club in 1863</span></p> </blockquote>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51065125649http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/51065125649Wed, 22 May 2013 13:15:32 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/50a24a686ba5aeb5737f946a37fe4de6/tumblr_mn3p73gh5m1qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>More bubbles.</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50907752787http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50907752787Mon, 20 May 2013 15:21:00 +0100Brighton<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/b58c00e6451b6f5bd0af2a33f3ad246f/tumblr_mn3oqij6Y61qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Bubbles.</p> <p>And rain clouds.</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50907287261http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50907287261Mon, 20 May 2013 15:11:06 +0100british summertime<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/352d4edc34f644aaae705e6b05464733/tumblr_mn3nhgUhJ01qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The pharmacy at our local hospital.</p> <p>*inserts NHS jokes*</p> <p>*hugs NHS*</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50906062520http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50906062520Mon, 20 May 2013 14:44:04 +0100nhsftw<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/d89d5521255fc8fb98a9fdee814ed142/tumblr_mn3l937fmV1qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>And this is the result.</p> <p>Yay kids in St Ann’s Well Gardens!</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903983667http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903983667Mon, 20 May 2013 13:55:51 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/65dfa16f37c1602b98e75b8c17a4e7b9/tumblr_mn3l3rAqfA1qzobvwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>I was asked by a local park to produce an image for their annual Spring festival- which of course I was happy to do!</p> <p>They divided the image into 42 squares, and 42 kids painted a square each- to produce a giant version of the picture…</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903854985http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903854985Mon, 20 May 2013 13:52:39 +0100<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/7ec5128c05e26c451b997ae9767f2678/tumblr_mn3j85eXcW1qzxy1so1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pdvmorris.tumblr.com/post/50902261321/really" target="_blank">pdvmorris</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Really?!?</p> </blockquote> <p>heh- this came up right after Mr Karp’s announcement.</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903415256http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50903415256Mon, 20 May 2013 13:41:51 +0100<p>Radio4 is discussing yahoo buying tumblr.</p> <p>They said that Tumblr is spelt wrong&#8230;</p> <p>*inserts &#8216;I don&#8217;t wanna live on this platform anymore&#8217; emoji*</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50900002209http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/50900002209Mon, 20 May 2013 12:11:28 +0100<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_les9vsy34X1qcugo9o1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://burningfp.tumblr.com/post/44637086819" target="_blank">burningfp</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Found via many things, mainly @Linda_Boucher.</p> </blockquote>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/44637159700http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/44637159700Tue, 05 Mar 2013 17:43:48 +0000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6aa6eb3b1e785a93f900212b9e78a98f/tumblr_miocvgVuc01qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Amirite?</p>http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/43799805851http://lindaboucher.tumblr.com/post/43799805851Sat, 23 Feb 2013 13:15:52 +0000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/eac935b942758fc0e14c0415e5b0c7e8/tumblr_mioc4oIjof1qzobvwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><span>For Her 14th Birthday, November 1943. ‘A picture for my friend Francka.
