About Linda WeaverAlthough
Linda Weaver does not confine her painting to portraits
of children, Weaver has an uncanny ability to capture
the world of a child. Using a richly varied palette of
oils or pastels, she records for posterity the charm and
nostalgia associated with childhood.
Along with Weaver's talent and accomplishments in
creating freehand original portraits, she is also an
accomplished photographic artist who exhibits, judges
and lectures throughout the United States and Europe.

her subject for reference in painting the freehand portrait.
