October 2011 Newsletter from Daniel Fishback Fine Art

What's Going On? Several of us artists had a good time on "Show Me Saint Louis" on KSDK TV on October 13, 2011 promoting ArtEast. ArtEast took place last weekend. Those of us at Jacoby had a lot of fun. I sold some prints, greeting cards, and a couple of small oil paintings. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to visit and see my work. I met a lot of nice people there and a number of them signed up for my newsletter. My Piasa Bird greeting cards are now available at the Artist Shop at Jacoby Arts Center and I will soon have prints there as well. Today I received word in an email that my painting, "The Flying Wallendas - Oil", was selected as part of the FAV15% (jury's favorite 15% of the entries) in the September 2011 BoldBrush Painting competition."  See the FAV15% at http://faso.com/boldbrush/fav15/65. My work is now on display at the new Grafton Artisan Village through December 23, 2011. What a great place this is for Christmas shopping. Art makes a very enduring gift. I have recently received word from a gallery in Denver that I have been accepted to do a show there next year. I'll have more information about that in the next newsletter. Newest Painting Kenosha to Breckenridge Trail  - 30" x 30" Oil on Canvas - Available This landscape painting was created from one of my son's photos. I didn't have an autumn aspen photograph and he kindly provided some. These aspens are so beautiful. I wish that I had been on this hike. This landscape painting is not framed but the canvas is gallery wrapped with painted sides. Visit my blog at http://danielfishback.blogspot.com/ for a step-by-step demonstration of the painting "Kenosha to Breckenridge Trail". Color, contrast, and cropping are close to the original but not exact.

Website: http://www.artstlouis.org/upcoming.html "Prime Suspect" Director Peter Berg reimagined the hit British TV show, starring Maria Bello. Maria Bello stars as tough-as-nails Homicide Detective Jane Timoney, who is determined to fit into a boys' club in NBC's newest drama "Prime Suspect." The new NBC TV Show "Prime Suspect" staring Maria Bello, premiered Thursday, September 22, 2011 at 9PM CT. The show recently purchased prints of three of my Paintings of Ireland – shown below - to use on one of the sets of the show (the set of Maria Bello's father's house). While the dates of the episodes these images will appear on are not known, they told me that they will be shooting from this set several times. So far I have not seen the paintings in the one episode they shot at the father's house.    Galleries & Other Spaces Where My Work Can Be Seen Art Trends Gallery 703 Long Rd Crossing Dr, #1 Chesterfield, MO 63005 Grafton Artisan Village - New 15 Main St. Grafton, IL 62037 Grand Center Arts Academy 620 N.
