Which Kind of Wall Art Is Right For You?

  A  Brief Guide to Help You Shop

ORIGINAL ART: the ultimate. One of a kind, an original lives and breathes. (Seriously-- It Breathes!) Miniatures make collecting original art affordable and fit any space. A large painting can define a room, a home, or make your office a personal retreat. Trust us:  Original art is an incredibly rewarding acquisition that you won't regret. And it almost always ships free.

ENHANCED PRINTS (remarques): each an edition of One, actually "Limited Originals". I paint on top of the print, add detail, color nuances, life. I paint out my original signature, then sign it again. Most are on heavy, archival fine art paper; some are done in oils on museum grade canvas. All are first cousins to original art, elegant and time-intensive to create and  significantly more valuable than signed editions or numbered prints. Each ships free, right from the studio. Allow a few days for smaller sizes, up to a month for biggies. These are awesome artworks, if I do say so.

SIGNED EDITIONS: high end prints with the added value of my special signature (wow! a real artist signed this!) Printed on heavy, archival fine art paper, these signed editions are my top choice for small to medium-sized decorator art. Many are matted to fit readymade frames; all come with backing boards and in clear, resealable bags, a presentation that makes these perfect for gifting. They ship from the studio, pretty darn fast, like, tomorrow or the next day. Best sellers for over a decade!

OPEN EDITIONS: my most affordable decorator art, with the widest selection of subjects, sizes & surfaces for you to put together your way. Plus gift-worthy merch items made to order. Mid and Large sizes offer big color on your wall. These may lack the crisp detail of a small edition or enhanced print, but that's a non-issue when viewing art a few feet away. Printed to your customized order, these ship straight from the print house to you. Allow a few days production time.

~ Lindy and Jim Severns, Fort Davis, Texas

Lindy has "an amazing ability to capture both the bold colors and dramatic formations of the far West Texas landscape, but also the subtle variations in light and shading... she can skillfully present the grandest of vistas, but she also equally masters the most delicate details of sand, rock, and grass. She is particularly adept at painting the western sky in all of its drama and color. When I look at Lindy’s work, I feel an immediate kinship with her vision and love of the western landscape." 

                              - Michael Duty, author, art historian, Director, ret: Art of the American West, Heritage Auction Gallery

Big Bend Artist Lindy Cook Severns paints real places in the wild American west, high desert ranch lands of Far West Texas and Big Bend country.  Her art hangs in most every state in the USA, in international collections and at the New York Stock Exchange. Featured in the 2016 PBS documentary WESTERN PERSPECTIVE, and in the definitive book TEXAS TRADITIONS, CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS OF THE LONE STAR STATE 2010, the southwest landscape painter lives on a remote working ranch in the Davis Mountains near Ft Davis and Marfa with husband Jim, two stubbornly affectionate rescued terriers and a cranky African Grey parrot who passionately loves art. Her workspace, Old Spanish Trail Studio sits across the road from Old Spanish Trail Gallery and Museum, where Lindy is the Artist-In-Residence and Jim is head of hangings. 

Lindy is the recipient of the 2020 Distinguished Alumni Award for the College of Arts & Sciences of Texas Tech University.

WHAT LINDY COOK SEVERNS COLLECTORS SAY: ("She's the real thing. Go for it!")

Oh  Lindy! It’s 1:00 in the morning in Switzerland (I’ve got jet lag and can’t sleep). And I have tears in my eyes now (upon seeing the photo you just sent of our finished painting.) To my mind the Davis Mts are heaven on earth. You’ve captured it here. Thank you - this made my year. All best wishes for now - it’s beyond lovely.  -  T.H.
