::: Interviewer ::: Black Vision Online :::: Artist ::: Linda F. Kelly
(BVO): What has been the driving inspiration behind your latest artist works?
Linda F. Kelly: My life's experiences of living in Houston, Texas and LeBeau, Louisiana are my true inspiration.

(BVO): What was the first piece that you painted?
Linda F. Kelly:My first painting was School House. It is a water color detailing kids going to school at a one room school house. It will be on exhibit at the Breakfast Klub during December 2006.

(BVO): What do you feel is needed for an artist to suceed in the business of art?
Linda F. Kelly: An artist will be successful in the business if they have an effective marketing plan, strong network, good business ethics, and professional and business training. In addition, the artist must set realistic goals and most importantly deliver a good product.

(BVO): How long have you painting?
Linda F. Kelly: I have been painting for 3 years.

(BVO): How hard is it to sell a painting?
Linda F. Kelly: The difficulty of selling a painting varies as does the view of the potential buyer. As the adage goes, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder", art can be sold pretty easily if the buyer feels that it is a love at first sight piece. Other times, it requires more explanation or convincing.

(BVO): How can readers purchase some of your paintings?
Linda F. Kelly: Readers can contact me at (713) 417 - 8261 to request an appointment for a private showing. My website will be available early 2007.

Linda F. Kelly: I am planning to have my next exhibit in early 2007.

I will let you know about my website and 2007 exhibit details once they become available.

Thank you.
