Hi, I'm Lynne Vegter |
Feel free to get intouch

I don’t want to simplify compositions, I try to paint the uncleared wildness of the tangled and gnarled landscape around lake Weslemkoon where I live . I hike the unseen paths only trodden by animals to reach untouched scenes to photograph and paint.
I see shapes in colors and minute contrasting light and shadows, overlapping form and texture of undergrowth where even trees in death are transcendent. Painting wildlife, water and wetlands, I prefer to use oils and mixed media. Primarily self taught, I worked most of my life in hard edged industrial settings to provide for my family until retirement finally afforded time to indulge my passion for art. I had a small pottery studio in my youth and returned to Haliburton school of Art upon retirement to explore ceramics. I found my love of art rekindled in painting the landscape. I hope my passion for trees shows in my work for you to enjoy.
“Only the moonlit mind allows wonder, and it is in the thrall of wonder that you can see the intricate weave of the world”
