Toronto-based Elizabeth Lennie works with oil paint on canvas, layering thin washes with thicker impasto. The images are often figurative and explore the memory myth of summer. (Above: Break in the Weather, oil on canvas, 32 x 48″)

“In winter I paint images of summer, calling forth the gravitational pull of the sun and its life-giving force,” Lennie says.

“The paintings are a map of my world, in both abstract and narrative form,” Lennie says. “By isolating and extracting vibrant colors in a signature soft-focus style, the memory myth of summer is explored and journaled in a series of liquid landscapes on canvas.”
