"We have several paintings of Lynda's incredible work. We get so much enjoyment seeing how they change colour throughout the day and seasons. Many of our friends have commented on them too. We’ve been following Lynda's career over the years and have recently purchased ‘a view from Putney Bridge’ to add to our collection of her work."

"A natural painter, her handling of paint rich and free on the surface, and impressively sure in its scope and sweep"

"I am standing in from of one of the loveliest seascapes in our collection on Tresco in the Isles of Scilly. I am looking in awe at the colour, intensity of light, wild open skies, exciting, dramatic effects of the paint on canvas and I am thinking that this was created by a truly talented artist. Lynda has such intuitive understanding of our island world."

"Painting is about the hand the heart and the head’ and that’s what you get when you see one of Lynda Minter’s paintings. "

For Lynda painting is about sharing her love of nature and giving people a different way of seeing the World in a new imaginative way. Lynda enjoys engaging with the people with her own unique language, speaking directly and celebrating life through paint.
