"After the War"

I've been thinking about this painting "After the War", I created this in 2003 and sorry to say, we are still at war. I'm going to work on another painting similar to this one. This painting resides in Florida now, purchased by a friend.

About

I'm a life long painter with a studio in Oxford, Pennsylvania & an alumni of The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. In my work, I am interested in creating a new world. One that is in love with nature and captures an essence of the unknown spirit world. I try to stay open to the process and let things unfold naturally. The more open I am, the more interesting and exciting things happen while drawing and painting. Color has always played a major role in my work. Deep down I am concerned for the environment and the health of our beautiful earth. Thanks for visiting! www.LaurenLitwa.com

Favorite Artist Quotes

“I always imagine you sit at a piano with an open window, and whatever is out there will come in, pass through you and then turn into a song.” - Tom Waits

"As far as I'm concerned, a painting speaks for itself. What is the use of giving explanations, when all is said and done? A painter only has one language."- Pablo Picasso

"I found I could say things with colors and shapes that I couldn't say any other way." -Georgia O'Keefe

"The position of the artist is humble. He is essentially a channel." -Piet Mondrian

"The emotions are sometimes so strong that I work without knowing it. The strokes come like speech."- Vincent Van Gogh

I love this about William Blake "His originality, his impatience of restraint or criticism, and the psychic quality which enabled him to draw freely upon the clear vision and imagination of his sub-conscious mind which was so conspicuous in all his work."

"If you could say it in words, there'd be no need to paint."
-Edward Hopper
