Who is L’Adelaide
i am a deranged, color-ravenous artist with a HUGE white dog named Bella, the star of the blog.

Desert Women{in progress}
22×30 watercolor
~~~

a seeker, photographer, gardener, dabbler, writer and lover of fragrant roses.
my mind a magic space long before i tread my rocky road.
always a healing place if willing to turn over stones
and i am. and i do. and i always will.

i know no other way to be in my world nor would i change many things…
perhaps one day i shall dabble in simple gray clay.
i have learned one thing … no thing ever stays the same.

Linda! I like your Beautiful coloured paintings. I paint myself but have stopped for the moment…you are working in a vineyard or going to the Church Vineyard?

Your story is grand, I have to admit I’m a bit jealous. I so long for the country life again. I spent so many years in between grandparents
One of which had a small farm, I loved it. Before my diagnosis I used to tease my wife and say someday I want to own a vineyard or a hops farm and spend my days painting and tending to the needs of the land. I hope the day treats you well. Best wishes.
Benjamin.

I love your paintings , you are a filter of light. Your expression creates that which you see in front of you.
Do you see how conscious that expression is. God is light and is in your paintings, its a quality of vibration that is detected from eye to heart.
The difficulty you encounter is in the mind only. Your paintings are a testimony to that, if you painted with your mind you would have dead illustrations of the subject a record contrived and flat.
Stay in your heart from where you paint, abandon the record of that contrived mind and its labels.
Detach yourself from what makes your mind restless renounce all that disturbs it peace.
Journey well one in spirit
Russell

What an incredible, exuberant virtual space to come into. I love your spirit and colours and art. Thanks for dropping in to my blog. Your ‘out loud’ (from keri Smith’s ‘Living out loud’) kind of living could teach me a thing or two. I wish you peace and health. Sarah
linda adelaide
Hi Sarah and welcome to you!
I replied to your comment on the little drop down form but guess it never flew. 🙂 i enjoyed your thoughts on my work and appreciate your taking the time to comment. it’s always nice to read someone sees like I do because I have a rather strange bent, shall we say? Please stop in again soon. It was wonderful to hear from you. xx
camilla wells paynter
Wow! I am blown away by this. I love these paintings, your sentiments, and that marvelous skull photo! Your painting is UNFETTERED. Inspiration to me to shed more and more the accreted layers of cultural detritus: the shoulds and shouldn’ts, the fences and leashes and black-barred cages with which we confine ourselves. It is precisely the “wild child” who knows how to paint. Wonderful lesson! There is so much here…I’ll come back when I’m not having to be about my “day job,” and I’ll try to carry this inspiration and encouragement with me through the day and into the week.

Hello Linda. I caught your very compassionate comments over at Benjamin’s blog. I thought I would stop by and see your work and say hello. Very nice work; beautiful crafted and expressionistic, and I really like the look and energy of your blog as well. I will spend more time with your work, as I will definitely subscribe. I am a digital artist. I hope you will stop by when you have some time. I think you may like my work under the chakra, conscious mind and meditation tags.
Namaste
Walter

Linda! I’m sorry I haven’t rambled enough in your garden earlier…you have got all I need to brighten my mind and my day. Your colours are shining through every darkness this winter and every darkness inside me.
Below is a link to the Swedish Lena Linderholm, whom I admire and find sparks with to ignite my life – now I know an even brighter one – you!

I’m frightened and sorry to read about what has happened to you – this is really a horror. What are your prescriptions? What can you do about it to cleanse your body? I wish I had some knowledge of this to be able to help in some way. The people are always kept in the dark about environmental dangers – good that you are writing about it.
Take care and I hope you will find the best possible treatment for this. I will follow you.
L`Adelaide
hello and many thank yous for your kind comment to me. as always you are welcome to come back again and again! and what a fab. painter! thank you! I am considering a print! such happiness in a painting! I was mesmerized by her use of COLOR,!
I am currently using homeopathic and supplements specific to detox of the metals…very strong…ugh! I may switch over to the hormone DMSA if I continue with nausea, we’ll see. doc thinks its going ok but it’s too early to test and know for sure.

Your pictures are calming and magical. I’ve always wanted to paint like you, but no talent in that department.

Hi Mitzi,

Thanks for the likes at nowarnow.wordpress You know… I have always enjoyed your art. Dad, Carl, gave me a signed copy of one of your first books years ago. No sure what state that is in now… it traveled with me for awhile… I’m sure others have been enjoying it since. Thanks again, Pia

Thanks so much. I have not written a book so perhaps you have me confused with another. No matter I have enjoyed your blog and am glad you have enjoyed mine. 🙂

Hi Linda, Wow, lots of changes to your blog lately. It looks great! I do love your paintings. They are so colorful and so interesting. I don’t think I have seen Desert Women (in progress) before. It is one of my favorite subject matters and I can’t wait to see the finished piece. The symbolism is so touching. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
