Custom Historical and Memory Pictures
Historical or Memory Art – a blast from the past
In addition to his amazing oil portraits Robert will create a very personal drawing or painting of a memory or a piece of meaningful history, perhaps celebrating a favorite trip or an important milestones, like an anniversary. He can capture and combine elements that represent a special moment in your life, in sports, an event. Objects, real or imagined, have meaning. They can represent the essence of someone very special, an achievement, our personal values. A blast from the past. Any number of meaningful objects can be combined creatively into an original work of art. Can you think of three or four objects that when combined express an important event or time of life you wish to be reminded of? Robert will arrange them into a still life and create a treasured heirloom. He can also take historical footage or photographs and combine them with artifacts that tell a story that needs to be told.

When I've played the role of juror, I always feel it necessary to write about each of the works, something kind and something to work on. I see the role of juror is not to judge, but uplift and encourage people who've put their heart and soul on the line. I usually pick the piece most reasonable people would agree was award worthy. And I can tell you why. I think contests should exist to support deep study and commitment to the purpose of art, which is to open our eyes to something heretofore unseen. It is the juror's job to really see the artists' work, in such a way that each artist will know they have been seen. ...
