ART | Impressionistic colorings

Watercolor exhibit “Around Each Corner - Expressions in Color,” by Illinois artist Bret Steinhaus opened at Robert Morris Gallery this week. Friday, April 6, 5-7 p.m. is the opening reception.

Steinhaus will be in attendance. The artist’s watercolors capture the ambiance, vistas and details of cityscapes, landscapes and portraits. He has evolved from a realist to an impressionist painter over the last three years, primarily through the use of color. His work is not bound by realistic color usage, allowing him to explore the patterning and transparent layering of watercolors. Images can also be viewed at bretsteinhaus.com. The exhibit runs through May 18 and is open to the public. Robert Morris Gallery is open Tuesday through Friday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.
