"Moments to take your breath away"

This painting was done from research at the new inlet, which happened courtesy of Hurricane Irene.  It is a beautiful spot, constantly changing.  8x10, oil on linen.

"Morning at the South end"

Getting ready to do a show in Wilmington, a benefit for Cape Fear Academy Nov. 15 & 16.  This painting will be included; it was a result of a recent stay at Wrightsville Beach, always one of my favorite places.  It is 14x11, oil on linen.

"Momentum"

Lots of movement ....looking down on this small waterfall.  Love trying to capture that.   11x14 oil on linen.  

"The sound of water"

Another water painting that was the result of a trip to Banner Elk, NC -- a lovely mountain visit with friends.  I love the sound of the water as it moves over the rocks.   8x10, at Carolina Creations in New Bern, NC

"Mountain waters"

From a trip to Banner Elk, NC, with my artist friend, Georgia.  We took a rainy walk up the mountain and the rain didn't matter a bit!   Beautiful place.

9x12, oil on linen

Trellis

Another painting from my favorite spot in Wilmington, the Arboretum.   I was so touched by the beautiful shadows that morning.  12x16, oil

Lavender crop

This is a subject I have done before in a larger format.  Driving to the beach a few years ago, I spotted this farm and pulled off the highway to take a photograph.  I have never seen this crop planted their sense.  It was truly a beautiful sight.   16x20

"Spring's message"

The blue pitcher belonged to my daughter, Kerry, who loves to bring in flowers from her garden.  The photo reference was taken when she lived in Seattle.
The painting is 8x10, oil on canvas.

"Garden ready"

More flowers.  These were some I was getting ready to plant. Makes me happy.

The painting is oil on linen, 20x24, and is at Handscapes Gallery in Beaufort.  Hope it makes you happy, too.

"Yellow roses"

I am really into painting flowers right now, particularly roses.  Mine are in full bloom.  But these were a result of photos I took several years ago when my college roommate took me to the Botanical Gardens in Philadelphia.  What a beautiful place!

I owe their "softness" to a workshop I took with Trisha Adams, who paints beautiful flowers.

Ocracoke roses

Oh, I love this one.....Jude's New Dawn roses climbing on the fence in front of the Hemp Shop.  I have New Dawns myself, but these were partly in sun, partly in shade and in full bloom.  The painting ia 10x10, oil on board.   Still in my possession for a week or so and will give a 10% discount to anyone interested....

"A delicate world"....

Another waterlily painting...love this one.  It is 16x20 and you may find it at the Little Art Gallery in Cameron Village in Raleigh.

"View from the top"

One of my most recent paintings, a view of the Waterway from the top of the ridge before you cross into Morehead City, NC.    I love this one.  It is an acrylic on canvas; image is 12 x 24 .  Gold plein air frame, $1400.

You can buy my prints on Etsy: drobertsonfine art.

Touching the light

An egret on North River at sunset inspired this painting:   oil, 24x30

Bodie - "After the rain"

On the drive north from Salvo, I decided to stop at Bodie.  It was a beautiful morning after a day of rain.  The lighthouse was reflected in the standing water.  All the buildings from recent work were still there, so I removed them when I did the painting.

Downed fences

On my last trip to the Outer Banks, I went to Salvo Day Area for a sunset view.  Downed fences from recent storms caught my eye.  This painting, 16x20, was the result.
