I enjoy abstracts - they are like the jazz of visual art. -Lynn Millar

My first action abstract
rushingstream.jpg
Rushing Stream, watercolor (sold)

The "Action Abstracts" like "Rushing Stream", "Mood Swing", "Indigo Ice", and "Storm Surge" are done in transparent watercolor and are mostly painted without a brush. Paint is poured, squirted and textured then allowed to dry so I can pour and squirt again. Rushing Stream was the first in this series. I don't think I've ever had a series I enjoyed working on as much as this one.

Pyro 1, casein, 22x15-in

Casein is an ancient paint used by the Egyptians. It is briefly described as "milk tempera". Milk eventually makes the pigment permanent. The effect has been descibed as liquid pastel when applied thickly like it is on this painting. This is one of two fire paintings.

Wine Decanters, watercolor, 30x22-in $1200

A reviewer commented on my painting, "Wine Decanters" in the Still Life show at Ambre' Studio. "Lynn Millar is the resident revolutionary, the one who fractures wine decanters into a Rorschach jungle of white space, bottles curtained by slices of olive, tanned gold and watermelon. Her neatest trick is to make the watercolor decanters appear to decant liquid color." -Morning Call, April 2007
