Backward Glance Painting

In the main, portraiture forms the majority of Linden's work. Using traditional, time-honoured oil painting methods and materials, much of the work is commissioned and therefore in private collections. Linden is an artist who creates realistic portrait, figurative and still life works. He's enjoyed a multitude of educational, professional and social experiences which he draws upon in depicting different subjects. Linden describes himself as just an ordinary guy, husband, father, dog-walker, occasional golfer and sometimes painter. Whilst this is all true, Linden's ever increasing accomplishments are forcing the 'sometimes painter' into the wider public eye and have brought international recognition as a figurative artist. Although recently described as ‘internationally acclaimed’, Linden tends to shy away from such plaudits, preferring to abide by the simple and unpretentious artist statement of ‘I paint’ Linden lives and works in the Kingdom of Fife, Scotland.
