My Latest Abstract Art
Original Paintings and Limited Edition Giclee Prints on Canvas:
These ready-to-hang paintings on heavy-duty stretchers require no frames because the 1 3/8" sides are an extension of the painting, which gives them a three-dimensional effect when viewed from the side. Also available in museum quality limited edition Giclée prints on stretched canvas ready to hang, in a variety of sizes.
Your no-risk guarantee: All paintings, prints and drawings may be returned for any reason within 60 days for a refund or exchange, including shipping costs.
Do you have a special request in size or colors?
If you love a particular painting, but it is already sold or in the wrong size, I can paint one in a similar style and colors for you.
I used to think I would hate painting commissions, because my work is spontaneous and born of the moment. But when I actually tried one, I found it was fun to revisit compositions, colors and themes I'd painted before. Each time, there is variation and improvisation which makes every painting unique, and my clients have been very happy with the results.
If you are interested in a commission, call me at 607-273-1364 or email Lynne@artbylt.com.
A giclee print on canvas looks much like an original painting.

Energy is the life force that is present in all good art. This is not something that is easily defined, but it is the opposite state of static flatness. It is this energy that makes a painting speak to you, and makes an artist's work original and identifiable as the work of that artist. Energy is created out of the artist's materials and tools, but the end is more than the means in the same sense that a musical composition is so much more than a collection of notes.
Abstract Art On Demand?
When I told my daughter that I just got a new commission, she asked, "How can you paint abstract art on demand?" It seemed a contradiction to her, since I paint spontaneously and I never know how a painting is going to turn out.
My answer: I can be spontaneous, yet use a particular palette of colors and have a general theme or composition in mind. If a collector likes my work in general, I don't have trouble pleasing them.
Nevertheless, I always paint two canvases in order give the collector a choice. Painting two canvases also relieves me of the pressure to "make sure it comes out great."
I've never had a collector refuse both choices, and often they like them both, even though they can only purchase one.
How to Begin when Painting Abstract Art
Often artists who are used to drawing and painting what they see around them have trouble figuring out how to begin making non-representational abstract art. Should they plan what to paint in their heads first? Make a small sketch of the design? Or just plunge in? If so, how?
There is no single way to approach the project, but I often paint a "background" first so that there is something for me to work against or with. The background consists of blending some colors together, so all I need to know is the basic color palette I will use. And during the course of the painting process, this color scheme could change entirely.
I never know how a painting will turn out when I begin. Rather than having a concept or design in my head, I like to let the image emerge from the painting process.
