On the Road to Abiquiu Painting

mid-career artist, born Panama City, FL.Begins landscape paintings ideas outdoors in NY's Hudson Valley where she resides and travels to Spain, New Mexico, southern France and the Sierras where she has received numerous artist grants/residencies to work long term.Friedman's paintings grow out of a perception of the striking beauty observed in nature and demonstrate painterly directness and emphasis on chroma. With a strong abstract emphasis, she is less moved by subject's physical reality than its underlying essence and evocation of idea. Her paintings explore the emotional impact of season, light, and time intertwined with artist's emotive reality. Paintings begin outdoors, the initial concept is then brought back to the studio for refinement, integration and synthesis.Friedman's work is in the corporate collections of Pfizer, McGraw Hill, the Ritz Carlton, and IBM, among others. www.lynnefriedmanart.com lynnefriedman.blogspot.com
