Welcome! My name is Robert Winton, and I'm delighted to share my art with you.
You'll probably notice that my favorite art style is Impressionism, a natural and expressive approach. This revolutionary art centers on impressions of light and atmosphere, breaking away from the details of academic art.
My admiration for this style is connected to the works of Claude Monet, a renowned artist who lived in Giverny, France. Monet was a central figure in the Impressionist movement, which emerged in the 1870s. Monet's iconic painting, 'Impression, Sunrise' (1872), not only exemplifies this style but also gave the movement its name, 'Impressionism.'
Below is my small study of Monet's 'Regattas at Argenteuil,' originally painted in 1872. You'll notice that there is no precise detail in the painting; rather, it offers the impression of detail through colors and shapes. One of Impressionism's hallmarks is that the farther you stand from it, the more realistic it appears.
The richness I achieve comes from nature, the source of my inspiration. - Claude Monet
Every painting on HolidayArt.com is an original artwork, hand-painted and signed by me. I paint in acrylic paint on canvas, because I love the vibrant colors and intriguing textures.
My paintings are usually about $50 to $130, though individual prices may change as my collection updates.
Every art print on HolidayArt.com is a faithful silver halide photograph of the original painting. Unlike inkjet, this process uses a light beam to form the image inside silver halide paper.
Silver halide photographs have been recognized for their timeless beauty and have been displayed in art museums for generations. This process has been used by famous artists like Ansel Adams, and is a medium I personally favor for its tangible quality - something I’m proud to share.
The negative is like the composer’s score, the print is the performance. - Ansel Adams
My Silver Halide Prints are available for $25, when in stock.
My path as an artist began in middle school and high school, where I discovered the joy of sketching and painting the world around me. I especially enjoyed creating portraits of my classmates and their pets.
After a 28-year detour as a chemist, I founded the Because You Love studio, and returned to art through photography. For the next 13 years, I devoted myself to capturing loving moments for brides and grooms during hundreds of their weddings.
Now retired, I enjoy creating through the arts of painting and writing. My home in the Pocono Mountains serves as my new chapter.
Thank you for visiting HolidayArt.com! I hope you enjoy your time here and find something that pleases you!
