The Outdoors
Robert’s collection of watercolor on paper often features scenes of outdoor pursuits such as fly fishing. This collection of art was created during many years enjoying this past time in places such as Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ireland and the Bahamas.
Working Boats and Waterways
This collection spans historic and modern working boats, from classic vessels to contemporary diesel tows, aiming to capture the emotional essence of a scene rather than simply documenting it. Experiences riding commercial tows on the Ohio, Monongahela, and Allegheny Rivers, hauling barges, and navigating locks have provided firsthand insight. To this day, he remains captivated by river traffic, constantly observing and photographing the waterways he intends to continue painting.
Golf Art
An avid love of golf has inspired this new collection of work.
Bluegrass Music Art
Robert’s love of playing bluegrass music inspired a collection of work started in the early 2000s. He was soon commissioned by the IBMA and many prominent musicians to create custom work for various projects.
