Lynn Rix #34 on the 2017 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct. 13-15th

Lynn Rix paints almost exclusively “en plein”, outside , from life. You can find her out in all seasons, with the Wisconsin snowy winter and painting from her boat in the summer being her favorites. Rix works spontaneously and in the impressionist style with quick brush work and a limited palette, catching a quick snapshot of a particular moment in time. Her paintings are full of light, atmosphere and emotion which clearly depict her love of the outdoors and her home state of Wisconsin.

Lynn Rix #31 on the 2015 Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 9-11th

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.

Lynn Rix #30 on the Covered Bridge Art Studio Tour stop Oct 10-12th

Lynn Rix paints because she loves the challenge of looking at a familiar scene and simplifying it into shapes, colors and her own vision. She primarily paint “en plein air”; however, she also work in the studio from still lifes, and reference photos.

Painting “alla prima” , with quick brush work and a limited palette, forces me to work spontaneously. Lynn strives to give the viewer a quick snapshot of that particular moment in time; an impression of an effect of light she felt to be beautiful. She usually works on smaller canvases in order to be able to complete a painting in 2-4 hours capturing the sun before it moves on. Lynn particularly enjoys painting the Wisconsin rural landscape and small towns in all four of our unique seasons:  Winters when the sun shines brilliantly after a snowfall, the white of the snow and the crystal clear blue of the sky produce a kaleidoscope of vibrant color that begs her to paint;  Spring and Summer when the fields are full of life, the gardens are in full bloom and the warmth of the sun makes her feel alive with the paint brush; Autumn when the hot oranges, reds and golds of the trees and fields vibrate against the cool blue of the sky.
