For a mere three days mid-November, the Holyoke Range turns ruby red, before the rain pulls the leaves down when everything turns grey-brown for winter.
About the Artist
Lorna Ritz
Changing light throughout the seasons is what makes me go back to the Holyoke Mountains for 37 years; I am still learning them.It is the search that gives the drawings their life.I set my easel up on a hill overlooking one of the only east-west axis mountain ranges in this country, formed by glaciers. The mountains are so close I can almost reach out to pet them, like they are a big animal moving up and down as the cloud shadows allow the sun to hit them in a pulsating way. I work and rework each drawing for many days, obtaining a specific light from the sky falling on the mountains that will never bring these particular colors again. Everything in the drawing has equal importance; the tree is as important as the mountain behind it, the sky moving behind them, the foreground coming up towards the viewer. Everything is democratically related, a conglomeration of spatial movements interrelated, needing each other to survive. Although I suffer with my health, I have always been a painter
