Dan Fishback's updated exhibit

Daniel Fishback visited last week and updated his exhibit space with several new pieces. His new work includes a mix of photographs and abstract oil paintings. His new oils are rich in color and very textural. Some tectured areas are patterned in such a way that they contrast the slick appearance of the gloss surface. Better images of the oil paintings are available on his website.
