  • Linda H. Post Description of Art

    I make paintings of powerful women, the sea, mysterious encounters, and uncommon places. These works occupy a mythic place in our consciousness, and question what we know about the world. Most of the settings of my paintings are imaginary places of reflection and contemplation. I chronicle all my travels in photographs. I combine landscapes, seascapes, people, architecture, creatures, and all sorts of odd details that have never existed together in reality. I love painting patterns, and skies on the cusp of change. Especially in my larger work, my viewpoint is often just outside the picture plane – one more step and you feel as if you can enter the narrative of the painting. ​ Birds, especially seabirds, have long been choreographed into my work, sometimes as companions, other times as avatars of change, growth, or escape. The conjunction of women and birds placed in enigmatic landscapes evokes an especially vivid dream. by Editor Brian Goslow in Artscope Magazine , July/August 2023 ​ "My favorite work in the exhibition was Linda Post’s “The Willing Suspension of Disbelief”, a large 72” x 53” oil on linen canvas painting truly enhanced by its huge size that fully allows one to see features that wouldn’t have been apparent looking at a digital image. Not only do you feel the intense presence of two women leaning against an aging fence - one holding a seagull while a second gull, it’s open beak seemingly smiling as its red eye looks out at the viewer - but four tents, the event they’ve been raised for unapparent. Post said that the "surreal, shape-shifting tents" are one of the dreamlike places that occur often in her work... In the back of the painting a couple sits around a campfire, their attention alternating between each other and the rising moon. "When I began this painting, it was a sunset. By the end it was a moonrise," says Post. "Things change." The Danforth's annual juried show will always leave me with several artists whose work I will be following for years to come." DANFORTH ART MUSEUM JURIED EXHIBITION REVIEW View the exhibit "The Willing Suspension of Disbelief" with narration by artist Linda H. Post at R. Michelson Galleries On February 22, the Intuitive Machines’ Odysseus spacecraft successfully landed on the moon’s southern hemisphere. On board the Odysseus is the Lunar Codex, a time capsule that contains the work of contemporary artists, writers, and musicians. My work is among them.

  • SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF BIRDS | LH Post Fine Art

    SPEAKING THE LANGUAGE OF BIRDS The conjunction of women and birds evokes an especially vivid dream. Birds, especially seabirds, have long been incorporated into my work, sometimes as companions, other times as avatars of change, growth, or escape. This series of paintings, offered as archival prints, occupies a cerebral, mythic landscape, full of mysterious encounters. These introspective girls and women are often on the cusp of change. They are contemplating their futures, preparing their imaginations - and their lives - to take flight. ​ New Arrival!

  • LEAPS AND BOUNDS | LH Post Fine Art

    LEAPS AND BOUNDS Dance has always intrigued me. I work to music, and the placement of figures in each painting is a kind of visual and psychological choreography. In this series, the dancers begin in interior rooms, then leap and soar through the air. The airborne figures have a birds-eye view of cloud formations, wildly patterned fields, mountains, and rivers. Some land in the sea, or revel on hillsides in a tour-de-force dance of life.

  • L. H. Post / PASTEL GALLERY

    PASTELS detail, "Water" , from The Elements. SOLD Pastels were my primary medium for many years. Working with soft pastel sticks is a natural extension of my fingers into the realm of pure pigment. I am much more enamored of the sticks as they wear down to tiny stubs of color, working together with my hands in a rhythm of sweeping, smearing and staccato motions. Even when applying oil paints, I'll often put the paintbrush aside - leaving fingerprints, scratches and the mark of my hand in the pools of color on the canvas. This is a sampling of pastels from over the years. Sizes listed are image size, without frame dimensions. Some are now available as fine art prints . Linda H. Post Learning To Fly Into The Night River Secret Garden Cape Light Swimmers In The River Air and Water Wake Float "Learning To Fly" is a pastel, 50" x 36", set over the Connecticut River. It was one of my first forays into a visual expression of the cusp between childhood and adolescence, and one of the largest pieces in this extensive series of airborne figures. SOLD Available as a limited edition print. In "Into The Night River", the boat is the psychological "bridge" between air and water, conscious and unconscious. A dreamer leaves the boat, floating through the air into the water. The boatman is her anchor, her refuge. The sky is on the cusp of night and day. 25" x 50". SOLD "Air and Water" is a pastel triptych, 30" x 56". The diver/flyer is a self-portrait, one of many painted over the years. The deep blue water is turbulent, plants shoot into the air and the seabird heads for the safety of the sky. A birds-eye view of the Connecticut River is the setting for "Wake", which is 48" x 38". Tumbling through the air, the main figure is watched by a swimmer, a boater, and a bird carrying a dreamer. The man and woman float among water lilies and swimming koi, making their way though a liquid garden path. The woman is serene, the man watchful. "Secret Garden" is 30" x 22". In "Cape Light" I experimented with applying pastels to a solid gesso panel, then adding varnish to create a matte textured surface that could be framed without glass. 20" x 24". "Swimmers in the River", 50" x 36", is from the same series as "Into The Night River". The surreal setting is actually the Connecticut River, which possesses a wonderful rounded island that I passed every day on my way to my Holyoke, MA studio. SOLD "Float" depicts a whirlpool, drawing fish and swimmers into its vortex. It consists of six panels, all pastel over monotype on Arches Cover paper. Each panel is 28" x 24". Available as limited edition prints as a set or as separate prints. Water II This is the second version of "Water", pictured on top of this page. It was commissioned by a collector when the first one sold. All are self-portraits, and part of The Elements series of pastels, each one 50" x 42". SOLD Available as a limited edition print. Earth "Earth" is a 50" x 42" pastel, one of the self-portraits that make up The Elements . The trees and grass envelope the figure, almost caressing her. Each of the works in this series portrays a total immersion into one of the Elements: Earth, Air, Water, Fire. Available as a limited edition print. BACK TO PORTFOLIO
