Our cover this issue, "Maybe Getting Wet," is by Lynne Loshbaugh
(photo by Hawthorne Studio, Sante Fe, NM). Born in San Francisco and raised in the Bay
Area, Loshbaugh married a fellow California and began painting when their children were in
school. Her goal in painting, she says, "is to celebrate the off-center, to
shake the tree on which are hung our 'givens.'" Her paintings are narrative; the
medium is acrylic, with some ideas expressed in additional media. She finds
inspiration in the primitive arts, describing her style as "folk-related
fantasy." She says, "Accurate perspective and proportion are not as
important to me as rhythm, balance, magic. But my greatest joy is in color - I am
happiest when I can stand back from painting and hear the colors sing."
She currently lives in Sante Fe. Her work can be seen at Hahn Ross Gallery, 409
Canyon Rd., Sante Fe; 505-984-8434 |
