Lynne Sutton Bio
I have lived in Calaveras County, in the Mokelumne Hill area; for the last 49 years.

I always painted and did other Artistic things while growing up. Things went on hold for a time during child rearing. Later, I took classes in Oil Painting and Pottery at Delta College in Stockton, CA.

Since my retirement from retail; I have more time and am back to painting and mixed media Art. I took lessons for several years from Deborah Marlene, of Mokelumne Hill, and learned the basics of my new medium of Watercolor. 

Painting Removed by Artist. No longer available for sale at Ironstone.

I get a lot of my inspiration from looking at Art Galleries and while traveling.   In April-May of 2019, I joined Deborah Marlene on a two week painting trip to the South of France. 

I often have dreams about my next project,
and can hardly wait to see what happens when implemented. Sometimes I feel they turn out good, and sometimes, not. But, I am still doing what I love to do...ART!

Deborah has been painting since the late 1960’s. Beginning with Acrylics, on to Oils, in the 1970’s, taking several Community College courses in Oils, while raising her family.



In 1996, she found her chosen medium of Watercolors. Deborah studied Watercolors with Lura Francis, of Murphys, for several years. She also attended workshops by many locally known artists, including Martha Wallace, Dale Latenin, and Carolyn McPherson.



Deborah loves bright colors and works to get the most vivid colors that she can achieve in Watercolor. Yupo paper is becoming a favorite of hers due to its ability to show the colors in the purest form. It handles a lot like Alcohol Inks on Tile, which she also enjoys.

Meet Artist Tosya Shore

Tosya’s Art Bio

Why would anyone take on the most humbling hobby (next to golf)

Painting???  Right!!!!

T-028 Silly Daffadilly by Tosya Shore wc 18x24 $650   1

It all started for me when I fell in love with a watercolor by Judy Greenberg and bought it … my first original painting. It was fresh, loose and expressive. AND from nowhere, my thought was “I want to learn how to do this!”  What was I thinking??  Clearly I was young and naïve. This was 23 years ago. With no drawing or painting skills, no art history under my belt, wife, mom, and a full time Software Engineer, I took Judy’s watercolor class.

 Long story short, I developed a Love/Hate relationship with watercolors; so exciting, but so darn challenging. What kept me trying was Judy saying “We all have a few HUNDRED crappy paintings to do, so get them out of the way now”.  This definitely gave me the right expectation, so I continued to take classes and stuff some painting into my already busy life.

 Once I learned to just enjoy the process and let go of the result, it became my passion.  And this passion has helped me through some very tough times.  I’m still finding my way though this exciting medium and love discovering.
