Welcome to my painting website. My most recent solo show was Lin Medlin Landscapes: Luminous Instants, at the Strata Gallery in Santa Fe, which ran from May 28, thru June 14, 2024. Some of the paintings in that show can be seen by selecting “Strata Gallery Show 2024” on the menu above.
Most of the same paintings and additional ones were included two months later in a two person show in Dallas, “Mary Vernon and Lin Medlin: A Dialogue on Places at the Bath House Cultural Center.” My paintings in that show are found in the Menu under Bath House Show 2024.
Prior to 2024, I had a show at Strata Gallery in 2021. All of my work in that show can be seen by using the Menu to go to the page for at Strata Gallery Show 2021.
In August and September of 2019 I had had the good fortune to be in A Conversation: Landscape Painting as Movement at Rest, a three person show with Mary Vernon and Barnaby Fitzgerald. You can see the paintings in that show, by clicking on Bath House Show 2019″ on the menu.
The internationally recognized poet, scholar, and Nobel Prize for Literature nominee Frederick Turner wrote a review of the 2019 Bath House show for Glass Tire, a publication that reviews Texas Visual Art. The review’s first sentence reads: “Three leading Dallas artists, Barnaby Fitzgerald, Lin Medlin, and Mary Vernon, have put together at the Bath House . . . a show that is shockingly beautiful.” Turner then explains why he considers its beauty “shocking.”
In a solo show that ran from August 21 to September 22, 2017 at Brookhaven College, I presented, among other paintings, five views from the Republic of Georgia. If you click on “Brookhaven Show” on the menu above, you will be taken to images of all the work in that show. I discuss the exhibition at “Statement About the Brookhaven Show.”
From November of 2013 through 2014, I worked on a series of landscapes of the Rio Grande and Pecos Canyons, two of which were in the Brookhaven Show, and the rest of which are included at “Rio Grande Paintings.”
Twelve of the paintings on the Colorado Trees page were in a show, “Lin Medlin: Landscapes,” which ran from September 14 to October 21, 2013 at Steve Paul’s former and much missed gallery in Deep Ellum. A number of paintings from past years were also in the show. Some of these, along with many additional works, can be seen on the Other Paintings page, where you’ll see landscapes from Crete, Cornwall, France, and other locations.
Thanks for taking a look.
