Welcome to Linda Leah Wolitz ~ Celebrations in Pastels

Portraitist Linda Leah Wolitz paints portraits and wildlife because “I delight in capturing the inner self of my subject. Each one is special, and my challenge is to bring forth that uniqueness. Every painting is a celebration of life.”

Linda's work is always on display at Crossroads Art Center, Staples Mill Road, Richmond. For a list of Linda's where else there is work on display, or classes and demonstrations, contact her through the contact page on this site.

I anticipate no price increases for 2009.

Working in pastels, colored pencil and graphite, Linda’s award winning paintings reproduce the spirit of her subjects in a style that is almost three dimensional in effect.

Since 1987 when she began painting full time, Linda has painted commissioned portraiture and wildlife paintings in Virginia and Florida in addition to being the official portrait artist at Cypress Gardens and is presently showing her work at Art Works Art Center and Crossroads Art Center, both in Richmond, Virginia.

Linda’s work has won many awards and has been published by the Virginia Museum of Natural History and Virginia Tech. Linda and her artwork were featured in Mature Outlook magazine. Three six foot statues of swans bear her artwork as part of Lakeland, Florida’s “Swansation” project.

Linda’s portraits and wildlife paintings hang in private and public collections from Florida to Alaska.

A word about pastels

Pastels are a dry form of pure pigment mixed with a binder to hold the color together. These sticks and pencils are of the same high quality materials that make oil paints and watercolors, only without the addition of liquid. Pastels are framed under glass and kept out of direct sunlight, as with any fine art work. Pastels have maintained their beauty and vibrancy for hundreds of years.
