"Turtle-Esque" -A Series of Aquatic Expression
Fluid Acrylics and Beyond 

The Back Story: what grew from a children's book illustration project to a series that has captivated Bob's passion for the past decade are his "Turtle-esque" works of art. Bob's work encompasses the widest variety of technique and texture - pushing the limits to find one totally submersed in his latest works. Bob's colleagues  and collectors have been calling this body of work. "Brilliant! a catch worth pondering and gazing!:"

"Endless curiosity is what drives Bob's vision in this quest to capture the stillness above and the symphony below"
Fishing or canoeing Bob enjoys the opportunity to make  micro observations below the water surface. There's a total aquatic underworld to discover and explore. "Turtle-Esque"  begins with this premise, at first in a very non-descript way and then the magic begins. Bob starts to articulate shapes, color, form and various textures which morph into aquatic plants, turtles fish, and frogs.. By suggestions of loose brushstroke Bob strives to emulate the energetic waters and undercurrent - with rhythm and gestural movement.

Marked by a thirst
for exploration
this series flows
from a brush held
​in the hands of a
​modern day master"

As an outdoor enthusiast you 'll find Bob freshwater fishing from Maine to the Florida Coast. From the infamous west branch of the Farmington River where you'll find trophy-sized trout in abundance, to salt water marshes to local ponds filled with turtles and frogs in their natural habitat. Bob's intimate knowledge of these subjects plays a significant role in heightening awareness of our natural surroundings. One maybe captured first by the vivid display of color but it's the subtle nuances of activity below that continuously searching for more.
