ABOUT THE COLLECTION
HUNT COUNTRY -Oil
Lydia's first fell in love with oils as a student painting master copies of Willard Metcalf and John Singer Sargent. These nine new pieces depict the gracious landscape of the region and landscape surrounding Lydia's childhood home in Loudoun County. Inspired by many walks with her mother throughout the years the trees were quiet companions to all their conversations. These are perspectives that have bubbled to the surface of inspiration as summer approaches. Each of the pieces were painted in a limited color palette to best communicate the beautiful summery haze of a Virginia summer.
ORIGINAL ARTWORK:
Each original painting has been painted with a palette knife and minimal use of brushstrokes with French oil pigments that show off the brilliant color of each location. Each piece was completed in one sitting and is a impressionistic, Lydia often squinted while painting to ensure she was capturing the scene correctly.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK:
A quiet and contemplative scene- indicative of Lydia's best Hunt Country work. Depicting a horse and riding arriving home. Surely the phrase "well done, good and faithful servant." will await him?
A still scene with the dappling of the Virginia sunshine and the soft summery haze- this scene is a slightly altered depiction of the walk to the main house at Oak Spring Foundation in Upperville, Virginia. As always Lydia's work has been subtly inspired by a favorite John Singer Sargent work.
