Why should you visit Linda Blondheim's Loft Studio?

I asked my visitors why they like to come to my loft studio. This is what they said:

Linda's studio is a real escape, a place to unwind and get away from my crazy life.

I love to come to your loft studio to see what you are working on.  You make everyone feel like an old friend. I always get a kick out of coming into Paddiwhack and seeing your neon sign beckoning.  You are down to earth and willing to share ideas and painting tips with other artists.  You were so creative to come up with such a great idea as an open studio in a gallery/store like Paddiwhack.  

I enjoy viewing her original art. She always has great stories about the places she paints.

The loft is a convenient location with great parking next to Fresh Market in Gainesville.

It gives me an opportunity to watch an artist at work and to have a sense of what it must be like to be an artist. Linda is candid and honest.

The Loft is a comfortable place to sit and relax after shopping, with no sales pressure.

There is always a hot cup of coffee or tea or a snack available. It's a matter of being made to feel "right at home" and my sense is that the snacks are often homemade or otherwise, thoughtfully chosen. The whole atmosphere feels personal and warm.

An opportunity to be surrounded by beauty and experience many aspects of an artist's work - not just the more refined and finished pieces on the walls for sale but also the 'browse bin'...which I always gravitate to, not so much because of the lower prices, but because of the history in that bin and the variety of scenes.

I like the opportunity to visit with Linda, enjoy the ambience, and see paintings in person; a fun addition to my Paddiwhack visit.

Linda makes every visitor feel loved.

It's exciting to see the variety of Linda's paintings.

Linda's paintings are even more beautiful than the photos at her web site or in her emails.

I'm more tempted to buy at her loft studio than from her web site.

Her paintings are magnificent.

Linda is the real deal and very people savvy.

It is inspiring and relaxing at the same time.

I feel welcomed.
