a message from leyda
Painting has always been a must for me. It crept up on me, consumed me, and took over my life. I never had a choice in the matter. I woke up one day, decided that was what I was going to do for the rest of my life, and that was the beginning and the end of it.
My desire to paint comes from nature, the beauty of it, and the desire to share that experience with people who perhaps don’t see it, or can’t. So I go out into the wilderness, capture it on canvas, and bring it back so that I can share the wonderful feelings it gives me.
The rewards not only come from the ability to capture these moments on canvas, but from the letters and phone calls from people around the world telling me that they just saw a sunset, another Leyda Campbell sky, snow scene or sunrise on a mountain.
This gives me great pleasure.
