BRIEF ABOUT: An exhibition in the Atrium Gallery featuring the paintings of Eric Cornett, who was inspired by the natural scenery as seen from his car. Drawn to the variety of color during the changing seasons of spring and autumn as well as morning and evening light, Cornett renders his realistic paintings with a hint of impressionism and pays particular attention to composition, negative space, and the right color balance with a simplified color palette.
