Still Lifes

"I became interested in painting flowers while working on vast panoramic landscapes and noticing flowers at my feet. As I brought them indoors and found interesting vases for them, I was challenged by an entirely new set of painting problems. I am not interested in rendering flowers but instead, capturing the quality of light that illuminates them in space."

REVIEWS

"The light of these paintings imbue them with a mood of mystery as the backgrounds recede into unfathomable space and the blooms come forward with exaggerated intensity, as in a 17th century portrait" —Resister Star, Hudson, New York

"Reitzfeld invites the viewer to simply come in and enjoy the bounty" —Register Star, Hudson, New York

"Lucy Reitzfeld's unframed canvases capture a playful note by placing as much (or more) emphasis on the vase as on the flowers" —Metroland, New York
