Holiday Art features original paintings inspired by both traditional holidays like Christmas and idyllic holiday seasons in the Pocono mountains.
Hi everyone, I’m Robert. Ever since I was a child, I’ve loved the feeling that holidays bring; that comforting mix of warmth and happiness that makes the world feel happier for a while.
As the years went by, I found myself trying to hold on to that holiday feeling through my art, in scenes of Christmas mornings and Thanksgiving gatherings. And let's not forget the quiet holidays in between, such as a sunrise on a long weekend with the comforting scent of bread baking in the oven.
I’ve come to realize there are others who feel holidays deeply too, and who wish to feel them again like we did as children. We see holidays as something more than dates on a calendar. They are moments that remind us what joy and peace truly feel like. For me, that shared sense of warmth is what brings people together and makes life feel whole.
My favorite artist is Claude Monet, a central figure in the Impressionist movement of the 1800s. 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
My paintings are original hand-painted, signed artworks. Acrylic paint on traditional canvas creates dynamic colors and classic textures.
My art prints are faithful silver halide photographs of the original paintings. The timeless beauty of silver halide photographs has been recognized by renowned photographers like Ansel Adams and displayed in art museums for generations.
The negative is like the composer’s score; the print is the performance. - Ansel Adams
My path as an artist began in middle 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.
My artistic journey included a 13 year career as a wedding photographer, capturing hundreds of weddings. Now retired, I live in the Pocono Mountains and enjoy creating holiday art through painting.
Thank you for visiting! I hope you enjoy your time here and find holiday art that pleases you!
