John Keats said “the excellence of every art is its intensity, capable of making all disagreeables evaporate, from their being in close relationship with beauty and truth.”
Alliance artist Lynn Digby’s intensity is outshone only by her ability to evaporate the features of her subjects, reconstituting them with an aura of true merit that we can take along with us.

Lynn describes her work as contemporary realism. She acknowledges her actions with the brush, the certain exposing quality of her technique that lays bare even the most cleverly concealed. She has a way of relegating the complexities of the human form to simple themes that resonate stoically.
Her talent in portraiture is in showing us that which we ignore or overlook, those truths of our essence that we can’t or won’t face. But by bringing the feared worst of us, she unearths the best.
More of her works in oil and watercolor can be viewed in her online collection. Contact Lynn to discuss the painting of your own essence, or stop by her gallery at Second April.
Check out more of Lynn’s work over at her permanent Hearted-Artist gallery.

P.S. You’ll never be cool like Lynn if you don’t submit your artist portfolio! And if you’ve already submitted, we’ll be picking another hearted artist next week – it might just be you!
Congratulations Lynn! Your work is exquisite.

Your work is absolutely beautiful, Lynn – congratulations!!!
Congrats to one of the finest artists in the area
Lynn, you’re work is an inspiration and a feast. Congratulations!
All I’m going to say is this: Lynn works at what she does, and is always trying to improve upon her own brillance. She is an inspiration to us all as artists and as human beings.
As I said before…it just glows!
I had the pleasure of looking at these in person during a few First Fridays, and I thought the experience was phenomenal. It’s a travesty that some people may only see her work through a computer screen.
