Hay Bales Painting

Lynn Ricci is a representational artist best known for capturing the seasonal beauty of her New England home focusing on realism and impressionistic oil paintings of coastal towns and islands from Massachusetts to Maine, the historical city of Boston, and the forests and farms further out in the country. Lynn draws her inspiration from her New England surroundings. While growing up north of Boston, Lynn spent summers enjoying the beaches and her family's boat and admiring the coast and islands from Maine down to Rhode Island. Back at home, she would use paper and canvas to capture these sights. Lynn went to school for a commercial arts certificate and attended Mass College of Art in Boston for fine arts until deciding not to actively pursue a career in the art world. Although her professional career path turned toward corporate roles, she never completely stopped painting and made a full return in 2013.
