“Horse and Dog” is an award-winning oil painting by Linda Drean.
MIKADO Linda Drean has been painting for 45 years, and she doesn’t plan to stop.
The award-winning artist focuses on portraits of people and animals, as well as nature scenes. She works primarily in oil painting, but dabbles in drawing with graphite and pencil, too. Thirty-nine of her pieces were on display at Besser Museum for Northeast Michigan in a solo exhibit this fall, which she earned by winning the 2019 Juried Art Exhibition at the museum. At the same time this fall, she was the featured artist at Dragonfly Art Gallery in Harrisville.
