PRICE GUIDE FOR PORTRAITS

9” X 12” - $125

12” X 15” - $240 15” X 20” - $360 20” X 30” - $700

All portraits in

watercolour or ink

are presented in an acid-free mat and acrylics

are created on professionally stretched canvas.

This is only a

guide. Ask about

special sizes or

projects. I’ve done

everything from

miniatures to de-

signs for cards to

a wall mural 6

feet by 20 feet. I

love a challenge!

I can work from

your photographs (which you can send as an

Pen & Ink

Watercolour

email attachment) or come and take photos

and sketches if you live within a reasonable

distance.

Although it

takes more

time to

personally

meet the

subject of my

artwork, it is

well spent

because I get

a more

accurate un-

derstanding of personality and can reveal

that in the portrait.

Payment for commissions is due after the work

is approved.

May 15, 16, 22, 23, 24

For 2 consecutive weekends, May 15, 16 and 22, 23, 24, Linda McLaren

welcomes visitors to Cliff Swallow Studio at her farm in Amaranth

Township. This is the fifth opportunity to view and buy her artwork in

the rural setting that inspires it.

This year, her continuing love of nature and rural life will be depicted

almost entirely in black and white, the simplified search for meaning

through shapes, textures and composition. The usual media of pen and

pencil will be extended with works in acrylic, watercolour, scratchboard

– all in shades of gray!

The studio will be open each day from 9am to 6pm. Free draw, door

prizes, refreshments, nature trails. Just follow the map on the back page.

Headwaters Sketchbook

Since 1996, I have been a regular contributor to the popular quarterly

magazine “In the Hills”. The page, entitled “Headwaters Sketchbook”,

combines art and nature with quick, spontaneous sketches and more

detailed „arty‟ sections originating in the parks, trails and conservation

areas of Headwaters country. Prints of some of the columns can be

purchased from Cliff Swallow Studio.

Thank you for visiting

HEADWATERS COUNTRY has been my home for over 40

years and I’m still exploring and learning about the

plants and animals-even the rocks—that share this place.

Just as migrating birds return, if they can, to the very

same woodlot, year after year, a sense of location is im-

portant to humans. The subjects of my drawings, however,

are familiar things that can be in many North American

spots from public parks to quiet country lanes to city ra-

vines.

Stop and watch and listen for a while to these other in-

habitants of the earth. Just like you, they have appoint-

ments to keep, family relationships to maintain—but

their calendar is internal, triggered by wind and rain

and the slant of the sun.
