Lynn Rix loves the challenge of
looking at a familiar scene and simplifying it into shapes, colors and her own
vision. She paints “alla prima” and primarily en plein air , with quick brush
work and a limited palette. Working quickly and spontaneously, Lynn
gives the viewer a quick snapshot of that particular moment in time; an
impression of an effect of light. Rix
began painting in 1995 while living in the south of France.
She was physically and emotionally compelled to try to put down on canvas the
beauty of the area’s atmosphere, sunlight, buildings and everyday life. It was
impossible not to find inspiration in the same region where Matisse, Renoir,
Cezanne, van Gogh, and countless others had set up their easels. An inspiration
that has continued to sustain her in the pursuit of creating the fresh canvas.
