ABOUT THE COLLECTION
In the Garden

While on a walk with my best friends in Virginia it occurred to me to just paint the flowers - bursting with sunshine and color - and fill the paper with the scene! So these paintings have been a long time coming. Years of contemplation of how to accomplish something was suddenly inspired by long walks with friends and the bright colors. The result is a nearly fauvist delight in the colors of a summer garden. 

ABOUT THE PIECE: 

Truthfully, painted from leftover paint from a canvas fix; this piece was a happy finish to a day's work. Blooming bright with touches of color in the shadow- these pretty blooms are full of texture as a result of being painted by palette knife. It was finished with minimal brushstrokes.

Original Artwork

Original art is the most valuable; the most sought after; the most desired. At our worst, we have stolen, betrayed, and killed for it. At our best, we have humbly cried before it-and it’s changed our hearts and lives and world view and perspective for the better.

In creating, the artist is imparting herself onto the paper. An artist’s hand in creating the work of art mimics our ultimate creator. In owning the original you’re owning a glimpse of the alpha. Lydia’s artwork is created on French watercolor paper with a variety of high quality pigments and brushes that are all collected in striving to imbue her paintings with a sense of the meaning that sits just beyond our gaze.
