Bob's paintings have a life of their own. Through them we can
experience the world through different eyes and see it anew, suffused with color and emboldened with the confidence that each brushstroke and scrape of the pallet knife brings to it. Those are the elements that initially capture your eye and drag you in, beckoning to you. However there is something else at work within these frames that is harder, if not impossible to describe. A kind of honesty and generosity that keeps on giving, allowing the viewer to participate in a give-and-take of expectations and experiences, a slow-burn during which the subtler, more organic qualities of each painting are revealed. It is in this unfolding of color and form that the paintings come alive, and are constantly regenerating themselves with each glance.
