An acrylic painting based upon Genesis 7:11

"In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."

Yes, you're absolutely right - there are changes to the backgrounds of my music page and my generic history page; they used to have this painting in the background but my brother, ever-wise, said, "Lynn, it's unreadable." *sigh* Don't you hate it when something you really want to do doesn't work out? yeah, me too.

RiverLeaves - an acrylic painting ca. 1971

I painted this as a young married woman, trying to make sense of my married name... the painting has lived in my son's home for quite many years but he recently sent me a digital photo - thanks, Shannon!

Friends' Art:

I am not the only artist I know (!! - and far from the best) - take a look at my pal Sue Dawe's website. Below is one of my favorite Sue Dawe paintings: it's called "Wings" and I actually own the original - I wake every morning to look at this beautiful piece of work--

I grew up with Vytas Sakalas, he was one of the Lithuanian kids I hung out with in high school. Besides being a fine drummer and a very entertaining soul, he's a brilliant artist. Really, seriously fine artist.

I am delighted to be using a piece of scratchboard art by Denise M DesLauriers as the basis for my Moonbird Music logo.

Check out my friend Tolkien artist Ted Nasmith. And Henning Janssen, who I met in Birmingham 2005 at the Tolkien Conference. Not to mention Patrick Wynne (no artwork on his site, but a tiny illo of C.S. Lewis on my "Bio" page... about halfway down the page... yeah. Kevin Farrell is a storyboard artist working in the film industry (and a fine musician and songwriter, too).

Ellie Farrell, fellow pirate queen and the Bad Arwen to my Bad Galadriel, back at the Tolkien Centenary in Oxford, 1992, gives us the Action Chicks Dioramas because she's funny that way (be on the lookout for Feathers McGraw).

Ah, so many, so talented (so twisted, so fun).
