Earlier this year, in 2007, our production crew returned to California to film this studio painting, along with another filmed entirely outdoors in her beautiful garden. It was hard to decide which program to bring out first, but I wanted everyone to see and enjoy the cloud painting we had seen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs she said, this subject matter is not easy to capture. \"The time of year is summer; the hour of the day around 7 o'clock in the evening. There aren't too many clouds in Southern California (Malibu) at that time of year, so you have to be ready, with your easel packed, if you hope to go cloud hunting. The camera can't catch the color effects at this time of day, and you only have a few precious minutes to get it down on canvas.\" And we can attest to the fact that she did just that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHer interpretation and handling of the rich, luminous colors in the clouds are wonderful to watch, and she makes it look so easy that anyone could do it. If this demonstration doesn't make you want to squeeze out paint and take up the brush, then nothing will. This painting is a feast for the eyes, and Gertenbach is a generous and articulate instructor, explaining everything she does.....and why.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are wanting to break out of \"tight\" painting and \"loosen up\", then Lynn is the person to watch. Her paintings have a lush, juicy surface which she tells how to accomplish with her favorite knives and brushes. And she gives invaluable advice on how to keep those thick, beautiful colors clean and luminous.

And that has provided him with opportunities to learn tips along the way for truly seeing color, and understanding when to bend and change it to make a better painting.

And it is fueled by a genuine passion for telling a story that is slipping away over time.

His paintings are a way to preserve the fading heritage of the American West. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSometimes just losing yourself in one of his paintings allows you to flirt with the fantasy of trading your modern life for a simpler time, out in the open, often by a fire.
