My Fall View, 12" x 12"

My Fall View, 12" x 12"Acrylic on Canvas. "Welcome to my world of trees, rocks, rivers and ponds! Much of these landscapes are from my imagination but luckily Ontario is filled with places of refuge and relief from the fast and loud beat of the city life. Toronto based artist Lisa Litowitz seeks to create contemporary landscapes liberated from realism, showing the spectacular of nature and the energy of color. Confident, gestural brushwork and exuberant color combinations

At its heart

I am absolutely in love with light and the shapes it creates on the ground-illuminating some areas while others are in shadow

and the authentic connections I share with them

Her oil paintings have many layers of different oil paintings
