Lynn Cociani Art

Thanks my dear!

Image shows a small section of a painting, with a gnarly log on a lake, evergreen trees, and rain on a mountain in the distance.

Another close-up of a tiny part of a painting for you. Soon I'll be away on vacation for a month, then the full-on show prep scramble begins!

It was an infinity of trees and I painted them FOR MY ENTIRE LIFE! 😆

Image contains a close-up detail of a painting, with background evergreen trees in greens dark to light and pink leafless deciduous trees in the foreground.

A snippet! This is a close-up of what felt like a million tiny trees. I may have been overly dramatic about it. 😆

The birth of a mountain, painting version.
Lately I've really been putting my head down and painting, but not posting a whole lot. Because I'm working on a November show I'm kind of reticent to reveal things fully ahead of time. But I can show you snippets, right? #canadianartist #canadianart

It looks like all is well! Phew! Thanks for the heads up

Image shows a painting in progress, a misty waterfall covered cliff in the distance, and a road beside a river. Everything is painted but the road because the artist is trying to figure out how to achieve the effect of water on pavement.

The pieces for my next show are coming together. This spot along the highway is a giant cliff with many small waterfalls. It's a significant place for my family because you can often spot mountain goats. As my kids grow up and move away these places become even more meaningful.

Image shows a pencil crayon portrait of a chocolate lab dog with an extremely smooshable face.

I'm starting to put a Christmas commission list together, so if you're thinking about giving a dog portrait this year, give me a shout!
But also, I just love this dog's face. Those jowls! That soulful gaze! ❤️

Image shows a line drawing of two women trying to hit each other with canvases. The title is SMACKDOWN and is styled after a wrestling promo. Suzo Hickey seems to have the upper hand as Lynn Cociani appears to be losing her footing as she slides down the W in the title.

Image shows a small fridge with an assortment of eclectic items including an envelope labeled "secrecy envelope", a fridge magnet that says "Mambo for cats", and a large photo of Suzo and Lynn attacking each other with paintings.

While I'm busy working on commissions please enjoy this poster for my past show with Suzo Hickey. The photo Jeseka Hickey used as reference for the poster now lives on our studio fridge. I really love this fridge. Mystery! Cats! Italian! Me and Suzo pretending to fight!

So beautiful!!!

Image shows a drawing of a yellow teacup with tea inside. No milk! The cup and saucer have a gold rim. It was fun to draw.

One of my most therapeutic mediums is pencil crayon. Something about it is calming, meditative. Maybe it's the childhood connection? Anyway, here's a little pencil crayon cup of tea for a rainy afternoon.

Thank you! 😊😊

Merci! 😊

Thank you so much! 😊

Thanks my friend! ❤️

Image shows a snippet of a larger painting. The snippet is of underwater rocks, above water rocks, and reflections on the water.

This is a little detail of a finished painting, hooray! Now I move on to commissions for a bit, then jump back into painting for my November show.
It feels pretty good to put that final brush stroke on, I gotta say.

Thank you! 😊

Thank you! 😊😊😊

Oh thank you! That's nice to hear 😊

Image shows painted underwater rocks and reflection of sky, as artist slowly inches towards a finish.

A little underwater rock detail as I plug away. I'm finding painting both more difficult and more essential these days.

Image shows a painting of rocks on a sandbar, and a bunch of unfinished underwater rocks.

I gave up on the underwater rocks to paint above water rocks for a bit, but I couldn't escape forever. Send help. Lol

Thanks so much! 😊

Aw thank you!!!

Thank you!!! 😊

Image shows a painting that is 2/3 unfinished because the artist has no idea how to tackle the painting of the underwater rocks.

🍳 My brain on underwater rocks. 11 on the trickiness scale, maybe. 😵‍💫
