Hello everyone . I have decided it is time to start a blog. I am not sure how faithful I will be about keeping it up dated but here goes.

For the ones who don't know me I am a Wife, Mother and A Oil Painter.

I love my life now that I am working full time as a painter. I paint in my studio in the Mo. Ozarks and love to plein air paint.

I belong to several org. Women Artist of the West, Women Artist of the Midwest, Oil painters of America , I am a signature member of the National Oil and Acrylic Paints Society, American Plains Artists, and Plein air groups in Mo. Colorado , and Ariz.

This is a photo of myself painting while in Colorado with friends. One thing I would like everyone to know about me is, as you can see from the photo I love to laugh. That is a requirment of a friendship with me. We can be serious about somethings but we must be able to have a good old lay down in the grass laugh once in a while.

I will be posting some of my work,news and events in the coming days.

Tomorrow I will be painting with my Springfield Plein Air Group and maybe I will a photos to post . Lyn www.lynphariss.com
