Large Impressionistic Landscapes
in Bold Beautiful Colours
by Lynne Morin
Saturday, August 29 - Thursday, September 17
Vernissage: Sunday, August 30 1:00 - 4:00 pm
Lynne’s love of nature is abundant in every painting…her colorful, stylized, semi abstract manner has tremendous presence. She’s inspired by trees, their personalities shown through their shapes, movement and light.
Lynne’s art education includes the art program at Ottawa U, but the learning continues: 18 month course with Ian Roberts, Ottawa School of Art etc.
She has attended international shows and numerous juried shows including the Glebe Fine Arts.
Representation by galleries includes a long association with the Ottawa Art Gallery and a 5 year participation in the Kanata Civic Art Gallery and others.
Artist Statement
Every painting is an instinctive journey of exploring color, light, texture and shape. My paintings develop spontaneously as I focus on the landscape, (like the movement in the spaces between the trees) by intuitive guidance.
My process is one of projecting intention, then letting go of fixed ideas, not knowing the end result until it transpires. This intuitive process creates room for serendipitous moments that emerge only when the chattering in my mind is stilled.
I want to continue to grow and learn, as art is a never ending learning process, not only in terms of skills, but delving into the meaning of each piece of work. I don’t want to replicate an image but rather I want to respond to it and paint whatever it stirs within me. I remain open to new ideas and influences, and fruitful experiments that create a path forward.
