Lynne Douglas
 Lynne
Douglas is a Scottish born artist living on the Argyll coast where the
light is ambiguous and ever changing.
As a child she was
passionate about impressionist paintings, from the colourful movement of
Monet's gardens to the sweeping power and light in Turner's seascapes.
Colour and movement are strong influences in her photography.
She
loves remote places, places free of human influence, where time seems to
stand still. Her favourite time is just before dawn, when the world is
quiet and the water still. At this time there is often mist over the
lochs and hills; as the sun rises the light changes there are fleeting
moments of wonderful colour. In all kinds of weather, I am to be found
on a beach or by the side of a loch accompanied by my faithful companion
Pippa, a little black spaniel who loves the water.
Lynne has had
various commendations for her work, including being shortlisted for
major competitions such as the UK Digital Photographer of the Year in
2010 and the UK Take a View Landscape Photographer of the Year in 2011
and 2012. in 2013 she has an exhibition at the Agora Art Gallery in New
York in October and November and had an article about her studio
published in ArtisSpectrum. She is represented by several Scottish
galleries and has commissions from local business.
Balancing the influence of the Impressionists with a deeply-felt
instinct for evocative images, Lynne Douglas' photographs explore the
play of light and color in a plethora of mystical landscapes. Often
photographing in her native Scotland, Douglas uses long exposure
photography and low light conditions to capture the movement in
seascapes and the beautiful essence of early morning and late afternoon
scenes. While starting with a spontaneous photograph, the artist
develops the results to accentuate the elements which originally
inspired the emotionally charged image. Douglas' work, like that of
Monet and even Turner before her, examines light itself as a variable in
her images and nature as a phenomenon not to be reckoned with lightly.
Like visual poetry, these photographs evoke an emotional and spiritual
response in the viewer, channeling a virtuoso's aesthetic technique and
a poet's soul. While seemingly varied in their subjects, all of Douglas'
works speak of the wonder and unmistakable magnificence of nature.
