Telling a story on canvas with every brushstroke...
Welcome! Hello! I'm Linda Marino a full-time artist from Branford, Connecticut. For over 25 years I've been creating original works of art in oils, acrylics, and watercolors. 

Although I paint both in my studio and on location, I have a passion for working from life as I travel around the area with my paints and easel in hand. 

​Captivated by the process of painting "en plein air" - a French term for "out in the open" -
where one is immersed in their surroundings to capture not just a beautiful scene but engaging all the senses while painting - from the smell of the salty air to the warmth of the sun, or the chill of a fall day.  

They all contribute to the energy, "wholeness" and harmony of a painting.
I love creating custom or commissioned work for my clients, from capturing that special moment at a wedding to the bountiful colors of a bridal bouquet. A family portrait walking on the beach to the adorable eyes of a beloved pet. House portraits or interiors wall murals.... the ideas and possibilities are endless and the desire to work together with my clients is my top priority.   

Whether you're looking for an original painting for your home or seeking a custom work of art, I’m glad you’re here!
"We absolutely love this painting, Linda. You really captured the essence of Apollo. He loves hiking and being in the mountains. The photo this is based on was taken on what was probably his last big hike. He's 15 now and doesn't have the strength in his legs to get up the mountains anymore. This is how we'll remember him long after he's gone. King of all that he surveys..."

What is Live Wedding Painting?

Live Event Painting or  Live Wedding Painting is a form of plein air painting ( a French term for painting "outdoors" or "out in the open") where a painter brings their painting gear, canvas, and easel out on location to paint a scene in real-time. This allows the painter to experience the scene first-hand, capturing the spirit and essence of a location and the subjects.

Live Wedding Painters are hired to record the wedding day as it unfolds. Working quickly and efficiently to respond and transcript with brush and paints at a festive reception, a poetic ceremony, or an intimate moment between the couple. 

I love creating wedding portraits and painting live during a wedding reception. Listening carefully to my client's vision and ideas of their dream wedding painting and translating that on canvas. 

Live Wedding Paintings make the perfect group gift from family or friends. 
​Bridal Bouquet Paintings or Post Wedding Portraits make great anniversary gifts.
