The Portola Art Gallery presents "A Summer Bouquet," a collection of flower paintings in pastel and oil by Linda Salter. This exhibit features a new style of painting for the artist. While she has enjoyed using pastels for many years for portraits and plein air landscapes, in this show she explores pastels for still life and floral paintings.

Salter shares: "Using pastel for still life paintings demanded an approach very different from my previous work -- a much looser, impressionistic style. These new pastels then inspired and influenced a new style in my oil painting as well." Summer Bouquet is a collection of recent paintings -- some in pastel, some in oil -- that resulted from this exploration.

Linda Salter works primarily in oils and pastels and has exhibited and received awards at community and college art shows; she has also exhibited solo at Avenue 25 Gallery in San Mateo, Esalen Institute in Big Sur, and the Museum Studios Gallery in Burlingame.

Salter spent more than three decades as an instructor and administrator in California colleges, serving as president of Skyline College in San Bruno and chancellor of West Valley-Mission Community College District in Santa Clara County. Since retiring as chancellor more than a decade ago, Linda has studied with a number of artists who teach at local colleges, as well as at Gage Academy in Seattle, Scottsdale Artists’ School, and classical ateliers in the Bay Area.
