New Paintings delivered to AZ Fine Arts, Wellesley Hills, MA


"Gold and Lavender", 20" x 30", oil on canvas, Lydia Johnston

I just delivered three new paintings to AZ Fine Arts, located in Wellesley Hills, MA, about a half hour west of Boston.


"Soaring", 20" x 30", oil on canvas

All three paintings are in my big sky series. I love working on big sweeping skies, playing with color and the sense of light.


"Evening Glow", 24" x 36", oil on canvas

If you have a chance, stop in to the gallery and see all the new work.

Weathered Barns


20" x 30", oil on canvas, Lydia Johnston

Another new painting, as yet untitled. This fall and early winter we spent many late afternoons out on our tandem bicycle riding through the nearby countryside. I love seeing the old weathered barns in this area. So I took a number of reference photos, and have been painting one of my favorites.
