Bob's Art - 2003 to 2007

A note: the colors appear muted in these;
they are much more vibrant "for real"

New. June 2007. Inspired by some other artwork as well as my having grown up near New York City. (24x18")

This was my first painting. It was a bit of a joke. We needed something big to go over the fireplace in Florida. The painting is 8 feet tall and 42 inches wide. I am good at sky and sea! Maybe I'll do another ...

I thought the scene of a rainy day in NYC would be an interesting piece. The umbrellas, bright raincoats and taxi cabs were all inspiring.

This one is a bit of a laugh. I wanted to use up the canvas from the big one (above). This is 48 inches wide by 18 inches tall. If you imagine a bit you can see the city and the boats moored near dusk.

Dante's Inferno could have inspired this, but it was really an impressive photograph from the web showing a forest fire as well as a similar piece of art I saw somewhere else. This one is small too.

One afternoon ... when you look from Longboat Key over towards Sarasota, this is what you may see.

Spiral in color. This was a play with color after I did another in black and white. I find the spiral an exciting and intriguing mathematical formulation - even better in living color. Done in Winter 2005 in Florida.

Here is the one in black and white. Done in Winter 2005 in Florida.
This replaced the boats that was my first above. I painted over the boats! The three figures are hidden in the burlap in the lower half of the painting.
"Storm" - Study in color. Painted in Winter 2005.
