Lehigh Valley Landscapes by Joseph Skrapits
When he began painting in the 1980s, Allentown artist Joseph Skrapits studied the landscape painting methods of the French Impressionists, using Lehigh Valley subjects as a laboratory to understand how to capture atmosphere, perspective, and color harmony. What began as an experiment became a decades-long involvement with the remnant beauty of our local rivers and countryside. This solo exhibition celebrates the enduring power of landscape painting to stimulate and refresh the creative imagination.
