Widely recognized for his realism in depicting wildlife, Ed Hatch paints landscapes with a classic compositional structure. His treatment of light is extraordinary, and his work is included in many important collections. Hatch brings a certain romanticism to his works of the Virginia countryside.
"My 40 plus years canoeing and fly fishing has given me the opportunity to study the water and the light. When painting plein air, I usually look toward the light as I like to paint edge lighting and look for interesting silhouettes. Painting early or late in the day gives me long shadows with warm light."
