Frederick Kubitz is an artist who paints in a bold, vigorous, personal style. He invites the viewer to look into his world and observe his impression of traditional New England subjects. The theme of his paintings cover a wide variety of topics featuring Maine harbors, Cape Cod dunes, Vermont countrysides, New Hampshire trails, historic ships, Boston cityscapes and many other scenes from his travels. Mr. Kubitz displays in his paintings an imaginative use of natural lighting that produces a luminescent quality. His compositions are dramatic and create an emotional mood. By the use of fresh colors and precise brush strokes he shows a mastery of his chosen medium.

His knowledge of structure and keen eye for detail reinforces the permanence and stability of these buildings, which are often an important element in the composition of his paintings.
