Drury University: Pool Art Center Gallery Exhibit

March 27, 2010 By Mike Lyon

Rebecca Miller (director of the Pool Art Center Gallery)  and I first met about twenty years ago while she was a student at the Kansas City Art Institute.  I was teaching karate twice a week there and she was one of my better students.  During the several years she practiced with me,  we became good […]

‘Joanne’ painting 35×21 inches on tinted paper

May 23, 2009 By Mike Lyon

This and the previous painting of ‘Lee’ completed a few days ago are experiments in the […]

Jessica Paper Doll

April 20, 2009 By Mike Lyon

Late last year, the Beach Museum of Art commissioned me to produce an edition of 30 prints in connection with the exhibition of my work there (which opened April 14, 2009). The prints were to be no larger than 10×15 inches and ‘suitable for family viewing.’ Bill North and I had some interesting discussions about […]

“Linda” 77×46 inch pen and ink drawing in spiral

July 31, 2008 By Mike Lyon

Today, after 11 days non-stop drawing, I completed a large pen and ink drawing of Linda which sorta ‘marries’ my long interest in tiles and spirals with the squiggly cross-hatched drawings of recent years. I think it’s pretty successful and depicts my angelic wife (who doesn’t much mind my long hours in studio) with a […]

“Linda” 75 x 45 inch acrylic painting on unprimed canvas

October 29, 2007 By Mike Lyon

I’ve been working for a couple of weeks now on a couple of long-term fascinations of mine — painting with a limited palette in a grid, and my wife’s beautiful face ! I suppose this latest endeavor was inspired (in part) by the needlepoint stockings my wife and I are making for a niece and […]
