David Jager on Elizabeth Flood
The New York Sun
May 6, 2024
Ms. Flood’s painting approach is not only rooted in a deep knowledge of the genre, but is also rooted in the immediacy of perception. She thinks nothing of hiking for hours to find the right spot, in all types of weather, and this can be felt in the fresh immediacy of each one. Ms. Flood is one of the few landscape painters that refuses to work from photographs, insisting, like Cezanne, on the benefits of painting outdoors, en plein air. – David Jager
