I'm a self taught artist with a full time job in an Equine Veterinary Clinic. My last of 3 children left home last year- and I finally feel like it's my time to seriously pursue the development and sale of my art, and stop giving it away. I'm a marketing moron. Joining Scuttlebutt has been such a huge resource of inspiring creative people- many of whom are eager to share their ideas, techniques, and advice- all of which I wholeheartedly seek out and absorb like a sponge. I love having people respond to my posted pieces, and my hand is on fire for wanting to get the next idea on paper. As some of you have figured out- I'm nuts about trees. I'm intrigued with finding human features in branches, bark, and old stumps. I'm crazy about detail. The finest tip black ink pens were my friends for 20 years- and I'm trying to learn how to use color. I love seeing works that explode and are bold with it, that flow, and have light. Always I think "How did you do that!" A Scuttlebutt member suggested I buy the biggest filbert I could get and try painting something big. That hasn't happened yet, but there are more colors appearing all the time. I welcome any and all comments and advice- and I say thank you to everyone who has encouraged me to grow as an artist. You inspire me more than you know.

Trees! Bare feet and worn out jeans, my family, creative people,art supply catalogs, beaches, big skies, hiking, homemade bread, snowstorms, the sun, the moon, any mountain, anywhere. LIFE.

smoking, negative people, wasps, abuse of the environment, burnt toast

art, making art, looking at art, hiking, gardening, working out, travelling, everything outdoors

For Hire:

Have #20 brush, will paint mural on your garage door.  Will consider barter for sense of the absurd.  Call

If a tree is sacred, I guess giving it a personality, and not just that, it is a dentistree! Putting a no fishing sign on a tree and then a fishing line....these kind of make fun of some ones idea of sacred.

I think I may have inserted my foot in my mouth (again).  I was thinking of a comment about loose brushwork from a different artist, and it wasn't even on Robin's site. So sorry if your were vexed by my comment.  As I said, I do really like your sense of humor....I am inclined to actually put a fish line on a tree with the sign, and perhaps you are too.  But drawing it is different than the practical joke that might hurt the poor property owner for who the pond is sacred.....

That said, I still have to wonder how you would approach a project with a #20 filbert.

I know what you mean.  Work has a way of getting in the way of life!

Yes, it's a photo!  Isn't it a gorgeous pose. The flamingo made me wait for it, but bam... I got it!

yep, he is at Bowdoin although this semester is studying abroad in Sicily and in April my daughters and I are meeting him in Rome for a week of vacation. I plan on bringing my travel paints but with my kids there with me realize its not a painting vacation but more about enjoying the fact that my 3 kids still want to hang out with their mom! I will definitely bring my camera and take pictures and paint back at the studio when I am home. Just an aside, the coolest trees I have ever seen are in Maine although I have not been to the pacific northwest as of yet and I know I need to get there at some point.


Enjoy the day, I am done with deskwork and have lots to do before I teach my last Tuesday night class of the session, later!

in response to your work in progress - I dont even know what medium you are painting with but if its watercolor you most definitely can do a glaze on top, that is where the yellows came from in my new posted work, the yellow was added at the end! can you take a photo of the work in progress and email it to me? I am happy to suggest things but if I could see where you were at it would be easier.. email is robin@fineartbyrobin.com, let me know what you decide.
