Acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas, 24 x 30 inches, evokes the gentleness of a warm spring day and the lushness of tender new growth. The underpainting on this canvas provided a rich surface topography to paint on, and the glow of some of the underlying colors shows through. Sweet and lyrical. Image c Lynda Lehmann.

Like many people, I am fascinated by small and fleeting phenomena. Snow crystals on the window pane, the textures of water as it flows over pebbles in a crystal-clear stream, patterns of foam at seaside or patterns in licks of hearthflame--fleeting moments of nature, the elements in their changing forms, whose shape, texture, and shimmer evoke elemental and eternal things beyond our ability to comprehend. Science may illuminate the mechanism, but not the mystery, of nature's cycles. This painting is acrylic on gallery-wrapped canvas, 24 x 36 inches.

Back in the 60s, I read the humanist psychologists. Seems they all talked about one kind of process or another. The process of learning, the process of rebelling, the process of creating, the process of loving. I read Abraham Maslow, Karl Rogers, Alan Watts, Rollo May, to name a few. There were so many, I can't remember them. No matter what their particular slant, the emphasis in those years seemed to be on either "Being" or "Becoming." At the tender age of 19 or 20, I knew I was nowhere near the mark. All the concepts made sense, but it was intellectual sense, not the kind that resonates deep inside. 
Art World Project is a collective effort inviting artists from all nations to contribute an artwork or two to a great cause: earning money for three major children’s charities. Seven huge panels (to represent the continents) will exhibit over 50,000 works of art from all over the world!You can submit either a JPG alone or the digital file AND the original work to be included in the fundraising. As I understand it, funds for the charities will come from the small entry fee and subsequent sales of original art and reproductions. The site has all the details, including the identities of the founders, the name of the trustee, the timeline, the charities that will receive the funding, etc. This is a wonderful opportunity to make a contribution to a great cause and be part of a global statement in support of needy children.

Something new that I'm very excited about are my handpainted eggshell pins. They are painted on goose shells and sprayed with a protective finish to keep the design around forever. They come with a pin attached to the back and are ready to wear. The above is my Ladybug Pin, adorned with Swarovski crystals for extra sparkle. The crystals represent flowers growing on the vine.
Pink Roses on a soft green background. The subjects are painted in acrylics and the backgrounds on all the pins are done in watercolor.
My Dragonfly pin with soft burn sienna background. Pins also come with a ribbon attached to the back. They can be worn as pins or using the ribbon or a chain, they can be worn as a necklace. Available at my ETSY shop.... www.eleganteggart.etsy.com
My Pretty In Pink handpainted duck egg has been painted with a beautiful, full pink rose and purple filler flowers surrounding it. I've added Swarovski crystals to the centers of some of the filler flowers for extra sparkle.
My Springtime Bluebird turkey egg has been handpainted with this pretty little bluebird sitting on a branch. I've also added crystals on this piece for some extra sparkle.

Something a little different from me....
What a beautiful day it was yesterday....70 degrees here in northeast Ohio in the middle of March....sun shining. I had to sit outside on my deck and create. So I grabbed my charcoal pencils and bristol vellum and started sketching. This tree is the prominent subject in my backyard...so beautifully structural and several stories tall. You should see it when it's in full bloom with yellow and orange tulip flowers and broad green leaves. Gotta wait a couple of months for that.
