Ed Stitt has been living, painting, and teaching in Brookline for thirty years. His work has always been about light, contrasts, life, beauty, color, and intensity. He felt urban landscapes lent themselves to strong drawing and contrasts, bright colors, and juxtapositions of the natural world with the man-made. Whether portraits, still-lifes, or landscapes, Ed tries to paint the “Golden Moment”—when the subject has a timeless beauty or is looking its best possible.
