Solo Show!
I’m having a solo exhibition at The New Steine Hotel
(10-11 New Steine, Brighton. BN2 1PB)
2nd December-19th February
Private View: 1st December at 7pm
Brighton based artist Linda Boucher, uses traditional oil painting techniques to create her contemporary paintings of glamorous women, and their gorgeous belongings.
Best known for her Red Shoe Paintings, you’ll find all kinds of objects of desire, from Disco Balls to Lipsticks- Powder Puffs to Russian Dolls within her still life paintings.
Drawing on her love of vintage movies, and stunning colours Linda also paints wonderful portraits of women. These paintings have a really contemporary feel, blended with fashions from the 1940s & 50s.
Self taught, Linda has been working from her Seafront studio, in Brighton’s Artist Quarter, since 1991. Over the years, Linda has exhibited in several exhibitions, including shows in Brighton, London and Monte Carlo.
Linda has also successfully worked with publishing companies such as American Greetings, The Art Group, and most recently Paperlink.
Linda is thrilled to be exhibiting over the festive season within The New Steine Hotel. New work will be presented at the opening of the show, and more work will be added as the show continues. The show offers the opportunity to see Linda’s work in a new setting, within Brighton’s vibrant Kemptown shopping area.
All work presented is for sale, and will include original oil paintings, alongside prints (framed and unframed), notebooks and 2012 Calendars.
On the evening of the Private View, Linda will be making a donation of 15% from all sales to local charity Lunch Positive, who offer a healthy and enjoyable meal for people living with, and affected by, HIV.
I like these shoes.
I cannot wait til I paint something that I can actually share with the internet.
Everything at the moment is secret and special and not allowed.
Which is fun for me… and probably a relief for y’all.

Today is the first day in SEVEN WEEKS that it is both sunny, and with out gale force winds.
And, am I sitting outside, watching the world go by?
No.
I am painting these shoes.
*stupid Linda*
New Shoes…
The painter George Tooker died on Sunday at his home in Hartland, Vt. He was 90.
Mr. Tooker’s “haunting images of trapped clerical workers and forbidding government offices expressed a peculiarly 20th-century brand of anxiety and alienation,” William Grimes writes.
“The bureaucratic shuffle he experienced when trying to get city permits to renovate a house in Brooklyn Heights led to ‘Government Bureau’ (1956). One of his best-known works, it depicts disconsolate supplicants being stared at, impassively, by workers behind frosted-glass partitions, only their noses and eyes visible.”

When I say ‘the studio’, I mean the bit that is all lovely and tidy and organized… obviously :)
It’s raining, so I have been talking pictures of the studio… just because.
“When Dorothy Grew Up” by Linda Boucher
This is my latest shoe painting… it feels like ages since I painted a pair of shoes ‘just because’. And it was fun. Which is just as well, really.
Next up— back to painting commissions.
