Beyond the Palette Promo
Beyond the Palette is very much open for business - I've even made a promo!
I can't tell you how many takes it took for me to say 'hello' without sounding like manic/desperate/like I might devour you😅 Thank goodness I'm better at talking about art..
Get in touch if you're interested. I'd love to hear from you.
Elevenses with Lynne: Killing Eve special
An Elevenses with Lynne special with a Killing Eve theme. Channelling Villanelle, obviously, and pulling apart the art history lecture on Cupid and Psyche, season 4, episode 5. In a nice way.
Elevenses with Lynne: The Effects of Intemperance
Wondering if it’s too late to give something up for lent? Wondering what you might even give up? Can I suggest that getting trollied in the afternoon might be a suggestion? Obviously I don’t have direct experience of this so I’ve turned to the inimitable Jan Steen for guidance 😏🤷🏻♀️🍷

Elevenses with Lynne: Bronzino's (slightly upsetting) Allegory part 2
Okay Bronzino’s ‘Allegory of Venus and Cupid’ is a totally weird painting but BUT WHAT IS IT ALL ABOUT?! Believe me, it might not be what you think!😬
Elevenses with Lynne: Bronzino’s (slightly upsetting) Allegory
SLIGHTLY upsetting?! It involves an incestuous kiss between Venus and Cupid who are mother and son 🤮😧
There is so much to say about this crazy work that I’m doing it in two parts. Welcome to part one!
Elevenses with Lynne: Marcel's hot arse
Marcel Duchamp's modified Mona Lisa has been the subject of much discussion over the decades but what does it all meeeeeeean???
Music by Holly Penfield
Elevenses with Lynne: Time for Surrealism
The Persistence of Memory. It's time we talked about surrealism. Dali is the most famous artist of the Surrealist movement despite being thrown out of it!

Elevenses with Lynne: Art History Room 101
This is the 101st episode of Elevenses with Lynne 😉😁 To celebrate I asked you what you would confine to art history room 101. The results are in!!! 😜🤣

Elevenses with Lynne: Acrimboldo's Tasty Portrait
A proper tasty portrait but was Giuseppe Arcimboldo wise to paint his patron, Rudolf II, as a greengrocer's delight? And would he have gone for the banana mouth if they'd been discovered in Europe in 1590? (They wouldn't have been an option for another 43 years). I think we know the answer to that one!
I was clearly thinking about fruit salad or similar in the middle of this as not only do I lose my words but I miss out a whole painting. It's a fantastic painting too, called 'Earth'; you can take a look at it on my blog at beyondthepalette.co.uk/blog

Elevenses with Lynne: Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia! The actual Elevenses with Lynne episode in which I explain my appalling behaviour 😍
Wishing you all a fabulous end of Saturnalia and an even more merry Christmas 🎄🥂😍🎅

Io Saturnalia!
Io Saturnalia! Shall we just call it art, darlings?? Watch out for the episode of 'Elevenses with Lynne' that goes some way to explaining this drunken frenzy...
Music 'Last Enemy' by Holly Penfield from the Tree Woman album
Elevenses with Lynne: Santo Stefano gorefest - St Margaret
Look at the idol?! St Margaret would rather get eaten by a dragon than look at the idol.
Thank you to Chris, my fabulous Step-Dad, for providing the 'idol' for the cover photo. It sits next to me as I record all my Elevenses. I try not to remember that it was supposed to be me!!
Music by Holly Penfield
Elevenses with Lynne: Marius and Mittens
Severed hands, huge metal hooks, magicians boiling in a cauldron with beautiful maidens - what more could anyone ask for?
The title saint of this piece is Marius who is displayed almost for our viewing pleasure rather than competing with the horror in the rest of the image.
Welcome to the strange world of the Santo Stefano Rotondo frescoes!
