‘VARIATIONS ON A THEME’ FEATURES WILDFLOWER PAINTINGS BY LINDA CALVERT JACOBSON
PAINTINGS ON EXHIBIT AT AUSTIN’S CAFE JOSIE THROUGH JAN. 2, 2009
Wildflower paintings representing a variety of styles by Linda Calvert Jacobson will be on exhibit at Café Josie through Jan. 2, 2009.
The solo exhibit at the popular Sixth-Street restaurant features 13 paintings from three different series of wildflowers by Jacobson.
“As you look around the restaurant, you’ll see that the title of this exhbit, ‘Variations on a Theme.’ is self-explanatory,” Jacobson says. “On one wall you’ll see a heavily textured landscape painting from my palette-knife meadow series. On the adjacent wall is a selection from my signature line of contemporary wildflowers. The third group of canvases are from my newest series, titled ‘Summer of Luv,’ which are inspired by the colorful tie-dye fabrics of the 1960s.”
This exhibit is being held at the same time that 24 of Jacobson’s contemporary wildflower paintings are being featured in a solo show at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. That show ends on Dec. 14. Jacobson was invited for the solo exhibit by Joseph P. Hammer, the Wildflower Center’s director of product marketing.
"Linda Jacobson's paintings and her singular style capture the vibrancy and romance of wildflowers as few other artists around," Hammer says.
After arrangements had already been made for the Wildflower Center show, Jacobson was invited to exhibit at Café Josie, giving her the opportunity to bring in work from her two other series of wildflower paintings.
A native of Texas, Jacobson has combined a lifelong love of nature, wildflowers and art to create a series of paintings that celebrate Spring year around. From her studio in the Texas Hill Country, Jacobson began her contemporary wildflower series in 2003 and has continued to develop her unique style. Last year she began her palette-knife meadow series and this past summer she added the colorful “Summer of Luv” series.
Hundreds of Jacobson’s original wildflower paintings are in private collections in numerous states in the U.S. and around the world. Jacobson is represented in Florida by Léche-Vitrines Art Gallery in Fort Lauderdale. She also exhibits her wildflowers in her own gallery space, Casa de Linda Art Studio and Gallery, located in historic downtown New Braunfels, Texas and through her website, www.texaswildflowerartist.com.
Meanwhile, as her interpretive, expressive and colorful wildflowers proved to be popular with a broad range of collectors, Jacobson began to offer images from the series as designs for licensing and quickly found that the wildflowers transcend geographic boundaries, appealing to art and nature lovers on an international level as was evident by the response received at annual International Licensing Expos in New York City where she exhibits her wildflower artwork to potential licensees.
The contemporary wildflowers are currently featured on a line of greeting cards in the UK, New Zealand and Australia and for a series of limited-edition, artists-inspired watches that are exclusively available in the UK. She continues to negotiate and is open to discussing additional licensing opportunities.
Jacobson’s wildflower art has been featured on the NBC-affiliate TV program “San Antonio Living,” and in numerous articles in publications ranging including Art Buyer Magazine, Art Business News, The Licensing Book and License!Global magazine.
Café Josie is located at 1200 B West 6th Street, Austin; phone 512-322-9226; www.cafejosie.com. To learn more about Jacobson and her wildflower art, visit www.texaswildflowerartist.com.

JACOBSON WILDFLOWERS LICENSED FOR WATCHES
Above Photo (hi-res image available upon request): "An Eternal Love" is one of three paintings by Texas artist Linda Calvert Jacobson licensed to JK Hendersons that will be featured on a line of artist-inspired, limited edition watches.
WILDFLOWER ART BY LINDA CALVERT JACOBSON LICENSED FOR LIMITED-EDITION WATCH SERIES
Texas-based artist Linda Calvert Jacobson has licensed three of her contemporary wildflower paintings to JK Hendersons for a line of limited edition, artist-inspired watches. The deal was handled by Eaglecrown, an art agency representing Jacobson’s work for the United Kingdom and international market. The watches will be sold on satellite TV shopping channels in the UK.
Established in 1976, Henderson Watches is one of UK’s leading international watch wholesalers and retailers for licensed brand watches.
This is Jacobson’s second UK licensing deal. Late last year, Eaglecrown inked a deal on the Jacobson’s behalf for a line of greeting cards featuring six of her wildflower paintings with Tracks Publishing Ltd. The greeting cards are now in stores in the UK, New Zealand and Australia.
“We are thrilled that Linda's work is proving so popular with our customers and we hope to expand the range of her licensed product even further this year,” says Dan McLachlan, Creative Director for Eaglecrown. “Along with our new Japanese artists, Linda is firmly seated in the Top 10 of our contemporary range — it must be something to do with changing attitudes to our environment and an increased awareness of just how important and attractive Mother Nature can be.”
Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown last July after meeting company representatives at the License 2007 International Expo in New York City. More than 45 of her wildflower paintings are included in the company’s catalog. Jacobson has been working on her contemporary wildflower series since 2003 and her original paintings are in private collections through out Texas as well as California, Colorado, Louisiana, New York, Canada, Mexico and England. Jacobson will be returning to NYC to exhibit at Surtex 2008 on May 18-20 in the Casa de Linda Fine Art booth (#2531).
“As an artist, it feeds my soul to know that people enjoy my wildflowers as much as they do,” Jacobson says. “I take great satisfaction in knowing that I can spread a little happiness through my art.”
Eaglecrown licensing agency, founded in 2001 as a representative agency for Russian palaces and museums, has grown to encompass a library of over 15 million images from the United Kingdom, Russia, Japan, the USA and Europe.
Jacobson’s work may be viewed online www.eaglecrown.com or at www.lindacalvertjacobson.com.
Jacobson will be celebrating her 4th Annual Anniversary and Open House for her Casa de Linda Art Studio and Gallery on May 2-3. Located above the New Braunfels Art League Gallery, the space serves as both an exhibit space, where more than 100 of her paintings are on display, and doubles as her personal studio and teaching studio, where she offers classes and art camps for children and adults.

JACOBSON RETURNS TO NYC FOR SURTEX 08
Contemporary Wildflowers will bloom at Surtex
Linda Calvert Jacobson returns to New York to spread some Texas color
NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS — Texas-based contemporary wildflower artist Linda Calvert Jacobson will exhibit her series of colorful floral art for the first time at the Surtex trade show this May. Jacobson has previously exhibit in New York at the International Licensing Show.
“I’m delighted to return to New York City with my wildflowers,” Jacobson says. “With licensing deals already in the works for the UK, New Zealand and Australia, my bright, happy florals are hitting the right nerve on an international level.”
The artist, a native of Texas, has been working on her contemporary wildflower series since 2003 and her paintings are in private collections through out Texas as well as California, Colorado, Louisiana, New York, Canada and Mexico. Her work is frequently exhibited at the renowned Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center in Austin, Texas. In 2007, Jacobson signed with Eaglecrown, a licensing agent based in the UK, which has already secured her a deal for a series of greeting cards and is working on additional projects featuring her wildflowers.
“We at Eaglecrown are constantly on the lookout for new artists and photographers and, whilst exhibiting at the New York Licensing Show, we couldn't resist recruiting Linda Calvert Jacobson, the petal-pushing creator of these tantalising tastes of Texan floral splendour,” Dan McLachlan, Imagery and Creative Director, wrote in a release promoting Jacobson’s art to potential licensees and collectors.
This will be the first time that Jacobson’s work will be exhibited at Surtex. She will be one of eight artists featured in the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth (#2531, Hall 1 E) at the annual Surtex trade show for licensing art and design to be held at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on May 18-20, 2008. Jacobson is also the owner of Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing and is coordinating the representation of the other artists along side her work.
“I have brought together this group of artists for the Surtex show whose work compliments one another perfectly,” Jacobson says. “Whether clients are looking for abstract realism or contemporary expressionism, sophisticated whimsy or interpretive photography, we have plenty to choose from.”
The other artists featured artists to be featured in the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth at Surtex are:
• Sharon Neuhaus, well-known for her playful, witty and sophisticated whimsy is ready to expand her licensing program for “Poultry in Motion,” a colorful parade of roosters.
• Myra Knapp, an oil painter whose luminous “First Light” paintings of forest scenes and series of thunderous cloudscapes, entitled “Volumes,” are highly collected and now available for licensing.
• Mary Shepard, a watercolorist with an eye for details as is evident in her nostalgic and colorful series of antique pick-up trucks and cars.
• Bill Brockmeier, a panoramic photographer who can capture a 360-degree view and turn the familiar into something extraordinary.
• Karen Gillis Taylor, a painter who has found a way to interpret wonder and romance on canvas through her colorful “ShimmerTown” series of cities at night.
• Kandyce Waltensperger, an artist dividing her time between South Texas and Northern Mexico and whose paintings of Mexican dolls, or “Muñecas,” are inspired by the colors and traditions of the Mexican culture.
• Imogene Luhrman, whose emotionally exciting watercolor acrylic paintings pulsate with colors and shapes.
In addition to samples of work on exhibit, brochures from all eight of the artists will be distributed from the Casa de Linda Fine Art Licensing booth (#2531, Hall 1 E) during the show. Potential clients may contact any of the individual artists for more information about their work.
