Welcome

Paintings in bold rich colors as well as soft-focus pieces in pastel and charcoal are a trademark of artist, Lydia Cooper. She calls her style "traditional realism with soft edges". Currently residing in the Portland, Oregon area, Lydia Cooper is surrounded by lush vegetation which offers a wealth of inspirational subject matter.

"I try to stay true to my subject but I don't have a problem with tweaking nature a bit in order to achieve the effect I'm after."
