"My earliest memory is the vivid sights, sounds and atmosphere while watching fireworks from the banks of the Snake River on the Idaho-Washington border when I was 15 months old. The barren, windswept hills of that region
still evoke and inspire my love of what atmosphere does to the horizon.
I began private oil instruction at the age of twelve with Mr. William F. Pogue. I still remember the exhilaration of putting pigment on canvas, producing the appearance of form, light and shadow. I continued study in his art classes until enrolling at Spokane Falls Community College, Spokane, WA, where my major was Visual Merchandising and Display Design. This training has served to enhance my understanding of the impact of color and design, contrast and repetition in order to attract the attention of the viewer within a few seconds.
Painting, for me, is an expression of interest in history, geography, language and anthropology. Most of the works, especially
Pacific Northwest scenes, are a diary and not as literal as they appear."

Whether rendering the glacial valleys of northeast Washington, the barren hills of Central Idaho,
the pastures and forests of the South Carolina Upstate or the marshes of the Carolina low country,
Linda Cancel's tonalism finds its voice in the effects of atmosphere on the horizon.
