Literature :
Notes : "In her landscapes, her love of trees is apparent. Old gnarled trees, fresh young saplings, oaks and firs: they all fascinated her. She never grew tired of studying them or felt that she could exhaust their attraction. She paints them often against a soft evening sky and knows how to convey a sense of their grandeur."BIBLIOGRAPHY:M. Sauer, 'Nita Spilhaus' in Our Art 1, (Pretoria, 1959), pp. 127-128
