Lyn Thomas has been painting for many years I watercolour and had no thoughts of changing mediums. However, taking a drawing class with a friend heralded the change. The drawings were charcoal and she was told using pastel would be similar. Not really wanting to get her hands messy, Lyn resisted change until she decided to take a pastel class. From that time, she became interested in the pastel medium. Her very first pastel, without any instruction, was accepted into a juried show at the gallery. That provided all the necessary encouragement for her to continue with pastels. Lyn has found a style of her own. From the dreamy, soft shades of watercolours, she is now excited about using the vibrant colours more associated with pastels. Lyn’s pastel paintings have won awards in Juried shows and generated much interest in the Blue Heron Gallery where her paintings were featured and sold. Lyn has operated her well established home-based picture framing business Lynton Studio for over 30 years. Recently she has turned her focus more keenly toward her art and has slowed down on her business interests while she accelerates her artistic creativitiy. Maybe even to try acrylics.
