Karl Eric Leitzel:
Karl Eric Leitzel is a central Pennsylvania native who has been painting for over thirty years. After concentrating on the genre of realistic wildlife art during the 1990s, he now paints a broader range of the landscape, often working en plein air (in the open air). "Much of my work is landscape-oriented because I never cease to be amazed by the beauty of the creation around us. I take deep satisfaction in being able to capture even a little of that in each piece I paint.”
