Biography

“I walk the Border hills, woods and down by the Tweed – this is the landscape that inspires my work.  The people, cattle and architecture are rendered in soft pastel drawings and acrylic paintings. Sometimes the art verges on abstraction, but the Borders is always at the heart.”

 

Bob describes his work as derivatives of diverse landscapes he experiences. The warmth of a long summer’s day or the icy breeze of a winter evening are prominently reflected in his work via the choice of colour and material. Bob takes inspiration from the natural presentation of the places he visits. He sees the sight before him as it comes, and channels the real experience into his work.
