“August is always so hot and humid;
we forget that September has mornings like
this. I got lucky one of my mornings up at
Larz because the mist lasted long enough
for me to document it…”
– Ed Stitt
In addition to his on-site painting of landscapes, Ed Stitt also uses light and color to transform commonplace urban environments. Stitt’s paintings of alleys and buildings near his studio, in Boston’s Fenway Studios building, glory in a celebration of architectural detail and the overlapping decline and renewal of city surfaces.
“Much of my life's work is about painting
the beauty I encounter in everyday life,
finding the lovely amidst the mundane.
I don't want to go about so distracted by the
to-do lists I'm forever obeying and miss the
beauty that is out there along the way.”
– Ed Stitt
