I first wrote about West Virginia painter Lynn Boggess back in 2014. As an introduction, I will quote myself from that post:

—
In writing about painters who work with thick impasto (such as Antonio Mancini), I have sometimes used “troweled on” as a metaphor to describe the heavy application of paint. In the case of West Virginia painter Lynn Boggess, however, “troweled on” literally applies to his painting method.

Boggess works in a manner associated with painting knives; and though he does use large painting knives at times, he works at such a scale that cement trowels of varying sizes are among his most commonly used tools for the application of paint.

Boggess traverses the line between naturalism and non-representational painting with surprising ease. His dimensionally thick paint at times seems as close to sculpture as it is to painting.

Boggess’s work is currently on display at the Principle Gallery, Alexandria, VA, in a solo show that started on April 24th, 2026. I’m assuming it wil run for a month, though I didn’t see that mentioned on the site.

The amazing Crochet Globetrotter Shawl was a stitch-along many years ago, in 2016, featuring Kroy Sock Yarn. The marling and colour effects of this yarn really made for an elevated wrap experience.
