Reception: Friday, September 9, 5 – 7pm
Walk-through with the Artist: Saturday, September, 2pm

“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. Such is the case with this show of my paintings. These are the common, everyday places and scenes I see as I go about my life... I live and walk around in Brookline. I work and walk around in the Fenway.” - Ed Stitt

Ed Stitt

Ed Stitt's agenda has consistently been to select and present for our delectation the moments of glory and beauty which reside in the mundane. Elements such as architectural detailing, intricate ironwork, or the play of light across a surface are carefully rendered by Stitt with vibrant color and constructed brushwork, building to moments of architectural epiphany.

His work is included in numerous corporate and private collections and has been shown in exhibitions reviewing realist and landscape painting at the deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum and at the Boston Athenaeum.
