Testimonials
OMG! That wolf is so amazing!
Lynette, I’m sure you have inspired so many people. Of course you cannot remember me from all the people that stopped to see you at the Yellowstone Hotel, but I feel the need to say again how much you have inspired me. You are amazing. Not just your paintings (which are great) but your kindness. Thank you for keeping me on your mailing list. I really look forward to hearing from you. Linda N
A Note from Leslie
“You are so blessed to have such a wonderful talent…God knew what he was doing when he first put a pencil in your hand!! Leslie
Thanks for the encouragement!
You do such a marvelous job on whatever your subject is! I still love the moose as much as the day I brought it home! Becky Fae
Isaiah 40:31
This was a comment about my painting of Isaiah 40:31 at a local art show-
Very strong image, the boldness and structure/anatomy of the eagle is excellent and contrasts so very well with the softness of the sky and mountains.
The use of mid values for your text allowed the image to stand on it’s own yet support the text and vice versa.
Outstanding in their field
As always Net your paintings are awesome! Outstanding in their field is absolutely so real. You just bring everything you paint to life. I can’t really find the words for what you can do with a paint brush! In my book you are the out standing artist of the year! Good luck with your busy summer.

Soooooo beautiful!! Congratulations Lynette. Wonderful to see your talent is appreciated!
For people that don’t know Lynette’s work, go check her web site. She is the best artist I know! She can paint anything. Page Mamot
Some artists paint for years, striving for that one painting that will catapult them over the “art” fence they have been straddling. Lynette didn’t just step over the fence, she leaped over it with this painting. (Double Take) Her detail of this amazing animal of the western plains is truly amazing.

Pam and I can’t begin to express how much we love both of our new prints! Settled In and Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep are even more spectacular “in person”. We can’t wait to show them off!

I’m a huge fan of Lynette’s artwork! Not only do I buy her artwork for myself but have given several pieces as gifts. Also love her variety of note cards and send them on a regular basis. I love all her Christmas cards.

Thank you for the postcard informing me of your latest work. You have outdone yourself – It is truly a wonderful painting – so real and beautifully portrayed. Bless you for your witness for the Lord through your work. May it bring Him glory and praise.

I am SO EXCITED that I found your piece! My mom stayed in a cabin in Big Sky, MT two years ago and fell in love with “this artwork that was in the cabin that had animals in the Yellowstone bus”. She looked all over West Yellowstone for it to no avail. I have been searching online since the West Yellowstone trip and could not find anything close. I finally emailed the cabins asking if they knew of anything matching her description, they sent me a picture, and I was able to find it! She is going to be so surprised and thrilled!
Betsy R

The Larson painting is awesome Lynette. A picture IS worth a thousand words…I just keep looking at it thinking “What an amazing story you’ve told!!!”
Marcy
Thank you, Lynette. The talent God has given you is remarkable. You have a talent only some can dream about. I absolutely love this picture of Murphy. He is adorable and looks so real like I could touch him and feel his softness of his fur.
Thank you again!
