Lynne Mehlman

Lynne B. Mehlman’s oil paintings capture vibrant colors and light effects in her elegantly composed still life arrangements.  She strives to accurately depict the impression of nature while leaving a sense of mystery in the shadows and of wonder about the beauty around her.  Always seeking a pleasing balance of unity and variety, Lynne favors fruits and florals because of their diverse hues and shapes, and the way they add visual magic to simpler objects such as ginger jars and vases.  Her fascination with light and color led her to Paul Ingbretson and Boston School Painting, a tradition that she has fully embraced. While Lynne fully appreciates academic painting, her goal is to express more with less, to work towards poetry instead of prose.
