About Robin Roberts, artist
I hope
you find some of the excitement that I see in the light that flickers
in trees, or illuminates the outline of an animal. Some artists
say they paint because they have to, and I would agree. Trees
as well as animals have gestures that capture a concept in my
mind, and that seed of composition requires a response from me.
I've been fortunate to learn from regional and nationally known
artists. They have taught me traditional principles that are the
springboard that allows me to express common sights with an uncommon
verve. As I paint, symbolic concepts form in my mind and transfer
to the canvas. But those symbols may or may not be apparent to
the viewer. After all, the viewer completes the circle of recognition
and adds symbols also.
We are Alabama natives, and lived in Texas twice, Iowa twice,
Missouri, Arkansas as well as Alabama. A southern orientation
emerges in what I see and collectors note a translation to a sense
of serenity. We have two Bostons and a cat that help us appreciate
that serenity! Like many artists, I'm always following the light
in all its manifestations. Come join me!
I
hope you enjoy your visual tour of oil paintings. Perhaps you'll
find a landscape featuring that special light, or maybe you'll
be intrigued by the gesture of horses, or the glint of glass on
a dressing table. A new series on native Magnolias is developing,
and you'll want to return to see the newest additions. The poetry
of painting is yours to enjoy.
