The Art of Peter Robson
|
"It is difficult to view these paintings and remain unaffected by their tranquillity, or by the sheer beauty of the Canadian landscape portrayed in the distinctive style that has become his trademark. Believing as he does, that he has yet to fully realize his artistic skills, there can be little doubt that he will continue to enrich the tradition of Canadian landscape painting for many years to come." Glen Warner - 1982 (art writer for publications such as Toronto Life, The Financial Post Magazine, Art Business News, etc.)

"I firmly believe that there is no such thing as painting Nature,
merely paintings which deal with Nature as a reflection of the human mind. To me, the paint on my brush flows unpredictably, sometimes beautifully, as do these reflections." Peter Robson "He strives to capture those nameless things With knowing eyes glowing from faded memories The soft glow of a twilight mist... The flowing stillness of a silvery dawn by the sun newly kissed...... He brings his vision to all of these things. A misty morning, a fiery sunset, the moods ever turning; To create precious moments in time today and always.... Such was his tender yearning... to paint it all... His dream to work for, And with his brush, he will live forever." Eleanor Robson |
