Linda paints trees, birds and animals on grounds of 24 carat gold leaf, in the spirit of medieval, Indo-Persian and early Renaissance art. A painting often begins with a poem or a page of a sketchbook and grows slowly, pattern by pattern, until the gold goes on. Speaking of the gold, Linda says, _“I love the way the gold catches the light. There is a contrast between the matte paint and the glow of the gold. The moment the gold is finished, the whole painting comes to life.”_ On silk the gold is printed as a warm ochre-gold colour, so it doesn’t shine like metal leaf. Every other colour is printed as Linda painted it.
