Opening Reception Friday, May 10, 6-9 pm
(Clayton, MO/April 17) presents "Exploring the Landscape with Paint" featuring paintings by Gateway Gallery Resident Artist Daniel Fishback, May 2-May 31 with Artist Reception May 10, 6-9 pm at 21 North Bemiston in Clayton.
In 1998 Daniel started drawing and painting and took a few adult education drawing and watercolor classes, but is otherwise self-taught. He especially enjoys being around streams, rivers, and lakes, and believes the beauty of landscape is enhanced when it is juxtaposed with a body of water reflecting elements of the land, trees, boulders, and the sky.
When Daniel was a young boy, he became fascinated with the outdoors while exploring a creek which ran about 50 yards from his Grandmother's home. With each painting Daniel tries to place the viewer at the scene to walk down the path, wade in the stream or swim in the lake. Many have told him his paintings have a great sense of depth, like they can almost walk into them. His aim is to create paintings that viewers not only feel like they can walk into, but are so inviting they wish they could.
