Nick Lyons

Nick attends art classes at the Schenectady Art Studio and is a very talented artist. His interests include Star Wars, Disney, and nature themes. He uses free-hand drawing skills to develop all of his drawings and paintings. He is adept at using colored pencils, watercolor and acrylics. His graphic style and use of non-local colors consistently yields stunning artwork that is highly sought after.

A stylized, cubist-inspired painting of a bear's head rendered in geometric color blocks and patterns. The left side features cool tones of teal, white, and yellow with dark outlines, while the right side uses warm shades of orange, rust, and brown, transitioning into a black-and-white chevron pattern on the bottom right. A large white circular moon backdrop sits behind the bear against a slate-blue background framed by mountain silhouettes.
A cubist-style painting of a moose set against a vibrant landscape of blue sky and deep red evergreen trees on the right, paired with dark blue tree silhouettes on the left. The central figure of the moose is composed of geometric panels in gray, white, royal blue, olive green, and brown, featuring contrasting black-and-white antlers sweeping outward.
A vibrant landscape painting featuring a large red and pink mountain dominant in the background under a sky filled with wavy, multicolored horizontal stripes in shades of blue, pink, green, and purple. The foreground and midground display stylized green trees, dark blue foliage, white-flowered bushes, and rolling hills rendered in wavy, layered patterns of orange, red, yellow, and green.
A mosaic-style, vibrant painting depicting a close-up face of a cat rendered in bold geometric color segments and flowing patterns. Dominated by shades of cobalt, navy, and sky blue, the composition is accented with bright lime green around the eyes, yellow highlights, touches of magenta, and a small red accent on the nose. The cat's large eyes feature dark outlines with green-patterned irises, while black sweeping lines extend upward from the forehead like artistic markings or whiskers.
A woman with long dark hair, wearing red-framed glasses and a grey long-sleeved shirt, focuses intently as she paints a winter landscape scene at a table. Her painting, secured with blue painter's tape, depicts green evergreen trees against a snowy ground under a warm sunset sky. Surrounding her work area are art supplies, including a paint palette with watercolors, brushes, a container of rinse water, a clear plastic tub, and a water bottle.
