Hi everyone, I’m Robert. I am an Impressionist-style, fine art painter based in the Pocono Mountains in Pennsylvania.

What Holiday Art Means to Me

Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved the feelings that holidays bring; that comforting warmth that makes the world feel happier for a while.

As the years went by, I found myself trying to hold on to that childhood holiday feeling through my art, in scenes of traditional Christmas mornings and Thanksgiving gatherings. And let's not forget the idyllic holidays not marked on the calendar, like a quiet fall sunrise during a weekend getaway.

I’ve come to realize that there are others who feel holidays deeply, longing to experience the meanings of these times — and to decompress from the rush of today, enjoying the holidays as we did in years past. We see holidays as a time to pause and remember what joy and meaning truly feel like. For me, that shared sense of warmth during the holidays is what brings people together and makes life feel whole.

Artistic Inspiration

My artistic inspiration is Claude Monet, a central figure in the Impressionist-style of the 1800s. His works have become some of the most celebrated and valuable in the world of fine art, capturing moments in time through light and atmosphere. Below is my study of Monet’s Regattas at Argenteuil (1872).

The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration. - Claude Monet

Holiday Art Paintings

Traditional paint on canvas lends itself perfectly to my celebration of the holidays, with dynamic colors and textures. My paintings are all original, hand-painted, and signed.

Creating Art

After 13 years and hundreds of weddings, I’ve retired from wedding photography to focus on creating fine art. These days, you can find me strolling the Pocono Mountains, celebrating the holidays.
