Illustrations - Paintings from my Archive
In building my new website at jeffreylindberg.com, I wanted to have a section that included paintings from my personal archive. So I searched in my attic, where I knew I had them stored. but I was surprised at how many paintings I had done that I had forgotten about. Some I like more than others, but there are things in each one that I remember liking as I painted them. Like old friends, they have resurfaced- and I want to share some of them now.
