Description
Landscapes: conceptual, observed, abstract, have informed much of my art for many years. Rather than depicting a literal representation of an image my paintings focus on a unique interpretation of natural scenery capturing the mood, light and atmosphere of a place. Special attention is given to color and composition. As an art educator my natural inclination when creating art is to consider the elements and principles of art and design. Decisions that guide me … and constantly change.
Recently I began experimenting with water mixable oils. Sounds like an oxymoron …. But it can be a game changer. Many properties are similar but clean up is much easier and less toxic. Three pigments plus white were used for this painting: Indian Red, Yellow Ochre, Ultramarine Blue. I enjoy the challenge of producing the most varied palette possible with the least number of choices. Ultimately the concept and the process delivers the product.
About this Artist
Lynn LeFauve
At the age of 17 I enrolled at Buffalo State College to begin my studies in Art Education. I had the privilege and honor of teaching art to high school students for over 35 years. I am proud to say many of my students went on to study in an art-related field. Here in Chautauqua, I’ve made many meaningful connections and friendships through teaching painting for over 25 years in the Special Studies program. Living in Buffalo and being a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists, one of the oldest continuing Artist’s Associations in the country, I had relationships with some of the most gifted artists in Western NY. I was inspired by them each and every day. I’ve always felt gratified to have a foot in both worlds: proud of my work as an educator and blessed as an artist.
