| Dear friends,
As summer marches forward closer to fall, Robert is keeping busy with preparations for several upcoming shows. Robert has the honor of exhibiting in two major events in September: Birds in Art at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum and Wildlife Art Revealed, a four-artist exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Natural History.
In addition to being represented by Berkley Gallery in Warrenton, Virginia, Robert is now also represented by Lovetts's Gallery in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and has three pieces on exhibit at there.
September is fast approaching and we hope that everyone enjoys the rest of their summer. We look forward to seeing you this fall at one of Robert's exhibits.

Currently going on
Two major annoucements for the upcoming month of September.
Birds in Art
Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum
Wausau, Wisconsin
September 12 - November 15, 2009
Robert is very excited to annouce that he has been juried into the Birds in Art exhibit at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. "Sewanee Barn (Feral Pigeon)" has the honor of being selected to exhibit at the prestigious annual Birds in Art exhibition. Organized annually since 1976, Birds in Art presents the very best contemporary artistic interpretations of birds and related subject matter. Each year, a jury selects approximately 100 works to take part in the exhibit. This year, 545 artists from around the world submitted 884 pieces of art. Robert is one of 112 juried artists selected for the exhibit; the show will also include the work of nearly 20 master wildlife artists. For more information, visit www.lywam.org.

Robert has also been asked to particapte in a four-person/artist exhibition at the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville, Virginia. Robert joins Paul Rhymer, Julie Bender and Roger Martin in exhibiting their original artwork as well as informative displays on each of the artist's process for creating their art. The exhibition is being held at the Virginia Museum of Natural History in Martinsville, Virginia, from Saturday, September 26, 2009, through January 9, 2010, with the opening reception on Thursday, September 24, 2009.

New originals
Fresh from the easel and drawing table
 "North pond on Pea Island (White Ibis)" Oil
12 x 22
"North Pond on Pea Island (White Ibis)" is a painting resulting from one of Robert's many trips to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Pea Island is a national wildlife refuge that sits just north of Cape Hatteras, where Robert has been going since he was a small child. Robert spent three days on Pea Island a couple of years ago and during that time he was lucky enough to wedge himself down into the marsh grass and capture roughly 100 photos of these beautiful birds wading past his hiding spot.
This painting will be part of the Viginia Museum of Natural History's Wildlife Art Revealed exhibit. The show will include a display where you can see this painting evolve from the beginning reference photos to the finished painting through progress images and descriptive paragraphs of each step. |
