The Working Woman

 

12"x16"
cubist oil and mixed media on canvas
$225.00 + 10.00 shipping
 
This is the last of a series of linear cubism that I have done. It’s oil and mixed media on canvas. The story is about a Madam in Frankfurt who is at the end of her long career. I wanted the image to be one that portrays a life long journey to the realities of what her business decisions had made on her. I kept thinking of a woman in her 60’s with garish makeup and the brutalities she had faced in the underworld of prostitution. The hand was an important piece of the painting. It’s a colored x-ray and to me was a pivotal part of the painting. However, one can interpret their own subjective thoughts about it. Figurative abstract and cubism can have many perceptions and each one must decide how the piece effect them.

cubist oil painting
 

This is a linear cubist painting I did of a woman playing a guitar .I used mostly oil but did use tiles for some of the effects. I wanted a feeling of night so I used a lot of blues and very dark hues.There is no black in the painting.

I used a tetradic color scheme of blues and oranges ,reds and greens. Please visit my website for similar paintings. The information is below.

Woman On A Couch by Tim Lincoln

18"x14 x 1.34" 
gallery wrap canvas

255.00 + 10.00 shipping

 
This is an abstract and cubist collage, painting I did of a woman sitting alone on a couch.
One side of her is bathed in light which represent a playful and coy manner. The other side is one of being doubtful and apprehensive. I used mostly oil with texture. There is also cloth and paper used. On the wall is a copied Picasso of a woman. I utilized burlap, painted over it and then took it off. It gave the wall a rough texture.

Woman With Macaw's

 12"x16"

175.00 + 10.00 shipping
 
 
This is an abstract linear oil painting of a woman holding two tropical Macaws. It’s a small painting and similar to “Woman With Fruit And Fish”.
 Macaws are vividly colored parrots found in Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean.
These formidable birds have been popularly kept as pets for decades with records of the"Green Winged Macaw” having been kept as long ago as the turn of the 17th century or earlier .I guess a classical example is the one armed pirate holding a Macaw.
Most Macaw species are found in tropical rainforests along waterways or in Palm swamp forests. They nest in tree cavities and feed on the seeds found in the canopy of trees.

Breakfast,Lunch And Dinner by Tim Lincoln


 
16"x46"x1"
575.00+20.00 shipping
 
Semi-abstract and expressionistic painting of  a table setting.It has a lot of texture and I utilized a pallet knife to do most of the painting and then I painted in areas so it's layered.This is a very long painting and needs a big wall to hang on.It would be great for a dining room or large kitchen.It's painted on all sides and I think a frame wouldn't work well with this piece.

Afghanistan Poppy Field by Tim Lincoln...SOLD

 
 
 
 


18"x36"
$400.00


mixed media
The opium poppy , a beautiful and seemingly benign work of art of nature, yet holds such a nefarious history back to the Greeks and Romans. It was worshiped as Morpheous because of how the dreamy and sleepy concoction was thought to be from the Gods. Of course that was Morphine. Some of the most beautiful plants are very deadly too.In the South we grow “Angel Trumpet” which has a huge yellow bloom that is spectacular .It’s a member of the Datura species and was used in Victorian times when you wanted to off someone .”Here honey, try this delicious tea.”
 
Wars were even started over it yet when I see poppies in bloom, the paper thin illuminative colors are a treasure and a heralding of Spring and what nature is about to reveal.
 
BTW….I’m not growing opium poppies. LOL
 
This painting is heavily textured with molding paste, organic material such as peat moss, dried weed, crackle paint, chopsticks and molding paste .I hope the new owner enjoys it.

Woman With Fruit And Fish by Tim Lincoln


 
14"x18"
 
Cubist oil painting
225.00 + 10.00 shipping
 
 

This is a cubist oil, part collage, portraying a woman carrying a basket of fruit and fish for dinner. One aspect of the painting was to do a much linear composition to achieve a somewhat cohesive image. This ideal came to me when I saw a photo of an Indonesian woman carrying the bountiful array of food from the beach to her family. After studying the photo, I drew up several drafts to see if I could successfully do a cubistic drawing and incorporate the colors of the tropical scene. This is what I came up with.

South Beach by Tim Lincoln...SOLD

18"x36"

abstract and impressionistic oil of 4 Texas or Florida Sabal Palms
 
This is a painting where I painted 4 Texas and Florida Sabal palms in 4”x9” square utilizing their complementary colors. It didn’t have the texture of Phoenix Date Palms but the colors were dynamic and it was perfect for the client who bought it. They just built a beach home near port Lavaca and it was one of her first art works she will have. I also got the contract on doing the landscaping which should be quite lucrative since I have to drive everything there from Houston. The logistical element is challenging since I have to use salt tolerant plants but I have everything lined up.
 I’m a strong believer in Karma and a few weeks ago I gave a painting away as a gift and I think those things always come back to you. It’s also an intrinsic benefit that your artwork is inside and your landscape design work is outside. Wish me luck friends!

LADIES SINGING THE BLUES by Tim Lincoln



 
16"x20"
$225.00 + shipping 10.00 

Abstract and cubist oil painting of women singing…but that’s debatable.

You were probably thinking Diana Ross? Not even close .Both women had a little talent but after much serious introspection, neither realized they would ever see the lights of Broadway. Myrna’s baritone was a bit jarring and Gloria’s high notes created such an abrasive mix, many tenets started complaining that their abode sounded like a breeding salon for stray cats. ”Singing the blues” was not just a title of a song but was a tragic reality.

 
To make a bit of cash they would book at seedy lounges where “Live Music” would give these dives a bit of class. They finally found a bungalow outside Queens that was far enough away as not to disturbe the urban population. The one blessing is that Myrna’s aunt died and having no relatives left , or who would speak to her ,she inherited enough money that they both could live without working indefinitely .Aunt Myrna was their only family who without fail, would invite themselves out for her Birthday. Aunt Myrna, not the impious type, would graciously sit while they played and sang a duo. Thank God she still had some Morphine left. Now they sip on Martinis all day and sing. Both are constantly going into this diatribe about “Practice Makes Perfect”, but after 50 years it’s time to reconsider some fictitious dream and start spending some of that cash

Leslie And Her Cat by Tim Lincoln

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Leslie collects cats. Every time, I’m over there working, one will jump out behind a pot.
It almost reminds me of that Hitchcock movie “The Birds”; although they are not attacking me .I asked if I could do a painting of her holding Boots.It's more of a feline paradise.
 She is an extremely kind and generous woman and basically lets me use my own discretion in her garden. She has tons of cat wall planters and there are also ceramic cats everywhere. This is basically an abstract and cubist style painting. If I don’t sell it by Christmas, I will give it to her as a gift.

Houston CityScape by Tim Lincoln


 
14"x11"
 
$175.00 +10.00 shipping
 
 
 
This is a free form compulation of Houston's skyline as seen from Allen Parkway.It's a smaller painting than I usually do but it has some interesting textures by building up the paint.Although,not an exact photographic image,it does include some buildings from Philip Johnson.I was trying to get the feeling of heat since I shot this pic in August.I love Houston but half the year it's like living in Cairo with humidity.I still have some touch up's to do but it's finished.I'm glad I didn't use a larger canvas.

Hilga,Eine gestörte Frau by Tim Lincoln

16"x20"x1"

350.00+ 15.00 shipping 

Hilga, a disturbed woman. Hilga was never an attractive girl or woman. She was teased incessantly at school and all the guys use to call her a dyke. She had very manly features and so none of the pretty girls gave her any attention. However, she was smart and made good grades but was constantly depressed. She graduated but her first job was at a nursing home in Prague. This is when her true psychopathic tendencies started emerging.

She mistreated the elderly and sick and would always dose her patients with barbiturates crushed up in salt shakers. When meals arrived, she would switch them out with her brew. The staff and her supervisor became suspicious because all her patients were like zombies. They installed a camera, saw what she was doing and immediately discharged her. Her next job proved even more toxic. She was hired as a sitter for a German couple with two blond hair, blue-eyed 6 years old. They would have been perfect candidates for the Hitler youth. After all the teasing, she was asked to take them to school. She instead got them in the Mercedes, got on the Autobahn and cranked it up to 150mph.It so traumatized the kids, they had problems for months. She was fired.

No one has seen her for months and that’s never good.

Shes's actually living in some dive in Japan, soaking up all the cheap saki, nothing like a morning cup of coffee thats spiked with an intoxicant.

I always think it's so sad to see dogs just roaming the streets with no tags or homes.I saw this dog the other day trying to cross a busy street,stopped my truck and at least he ran away from the boulevard.He had such a sad look and I wanted to paint him and capture how he must have felt.This is an abstract and cubist painting.I can still see his eyes pleading for me to take him home.I hope he had a home and was able to find it.I'm afraid i would have picked him up and with my other dog their would be some major issues.
Yellows,yellow oranges,blue-violet,blue
The yellow hues are a lot more vivid than the photo.

Sonia,once a tragedy in an East Berlin Bar has found the man to take her away from all the misery.An Arabic oilman couldn't resist her and said he would give her anything she wanted.Now,bathing in a luxurious penthouse in Houston and having anything she desires, is beyond her comprehension.Unfortunately,she missed the statement made that he would slice her throat from ear to ear if she did not heed to his beckon call seem to have escaped her.Now as she is raptured by such wealth and promises,that little idiom begins  to have sunk in.Did he really say that? Like her mom used to say"Mein Kind, nichts ist frei. Männer sind Küchenschaben ähnlich."
