My paintings are often made en plein air, especially the oil paintings. They often relate to the sea. Sometimes I include found objects in the images or paint on found boards. These first two were painted during a visit to Port Seton, East Lothian and a stay on the south Kent coast.
This painting was made en plein air at Port Seton Harbour in East Lothian, down the coast from Edinburgh.
Beachcombing finds are sometimes incorporated into work. Here the piece of timber resembled a boat. A found text and collaged screenprints were used to complete the assemblage.
This screenprint maps the many different layers of development at the Lochrin Basin of the Union Canal in Edinburgh. A previously industrial site of rubber works abd
A fascination with huts and sheds can be seen regularly in Lynda’s work. These are an edited selection of the huts found at Southwold Harbour in Suffolk.
Before a trip to China, Lynda made a concertina sketch book with Chinese paper and printed cloth covers. She spent a few days sailing the Yangtze and one afternoon she sat and drew continuously with charcoal , along the pages of the book, the view of the river bank as it passed before her. Opened up, it is 5 metres long.
Here the fascination with huts shows itself again. The huts are printed and painted paper placed inside a painted found box.
Old postcards were used for these screen prints. For the Portobello prints, the original colours were changed to better reflect the colours found at the seaside. The Dungeness postcard shows the original colours of the old lighthouse – it is now painted all black and the new lighthouse has taken over the black and white stripes.
