Larry Lynch
St. Simons Island, GA
Larry moved to the island recently from coastal Maryland. He was a
teacher of art, both abroad and in Maryland.
Plein Air painting is his current focus but he also enjoys portrait
painting. In his landscapes, his aim is to paint the effects of
light. In portraiture, his goal is to capture the “inner soul” of
the sitter. The American Impressionists have been his inspiration,
particularly John Singer Sargent.

Kathryn McClain
Color, the more the better, would describe how artist Kathy McClain likes to paint. Color says happy and vibrant and lively and that is what she wants you to feel when you look at her work.
Kathy is from North Carolina and is a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She lived in Florida for 27 years and for many years was a potter and member of the Ceramic League of the Palm Beaches. She had a business hand painting silk for neckties, scarves, and pillows. She is now a member of the Georgia Coastal Art Association, Glynn Art Association and McIntosh Art Association.
Having switched gears from clay, Kathy painted watercolor for several years before trying acrylics, then moved to oils. " I wanted to paint something that would outlast me and watercolors fade." Painting in oils is great because of the wonderful colors available. She paints scenes of her favorite places from her travels and where she lives. Kathy McClain has studied with Anthony Alonso, Charles Gruppe, Karin Bastidas, Carol Baehrun, Garry Katz, and Hugh O'Neill. She has work in private collections in Tennessee, California, Connecticut, North Carolina, New York, Massachusetts and Florida.
