Janet Fish: Master of Light and Shadow (Huntsville Museum of Art)

I had the privilege of seeing Huntsville Museum of Art’s summer exhibit – Janet Fish: Master of Light and Shadow, way back in May when it opened.

What did I think?

I think that you MUST go and see this exhibit (if you haven’t already – shout out if you did!) before it is gone.

Time is running out. The exhibit ends July 27, 2014.

Amazing Light

I guarantee you that these unique paintings, many of which are breathtaking still lifes, will leave you with a new appreciation for how light can be captured on canvas.

Here are three paintings to represent the collection and hopefully entice you to see more before they are all gone!
