Eunice Van der Linden
Welcome to EVdL Art! Eunice Van der Linden is a plein air oil painter based on the beautiful central coast of California. Her paintings encompass the feeling of living near the coast within view of the Monterey Bay.
Preferring to paint on site, she paints on location around Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay with frequent trips down the coast to Big Sur. The challenge of focusing in on the essence of a location and creating a composition that reflects that essence draws her out to paint.
Eunice also travels with fellow artists to experience painting at other locations. These art retreats bring a fresh perspective to painting on location. The intensity of painting several painting a day, and of talking with other artists about their approach is invigorating.
When traveling abroad, she switches to the simplicity of ink and paper to record her impressions. The focus required to draw, imprints the location in her memory. Then on her return, she works in the studio to create paintings from her experience.
