FREE ACRYLIC LANDSCAPE PAINTING CLASS CANCELED. As I did in October, 2016 and in March, 2019, I was offering another acrylic painting class on behalf of the Monroeville Arts Council Outreach Program on October 17, 2020, but it was canceled due to the COVID Pandemic.   If this class is rescheduled it will be announced here and on bob’s art blog.

EXPLORING THE MOON - THE LEGACY OF APOLLO : An artist’s interpretation of the exploration of the lunar surface by Apollo 11 and the missions that followed. October 1 - 31, 2019; an exhibit of Bob’s paintings at the Murrysville Community Library in Murrysville, Pennsylvania. At right is a news article and a copy of the Exhibition Guide. More on this exhibit can be found on my ART BLOG No. 101.

ON THE MOON - An artist’s interpretation of the exploration of the lunar surface by Apollo 11 and the missions that followed. July 3 - 30, 2019, an exhibit of Bob’s paintings at the Elaine Biondi Gallery Space (Monroeville Public Library) in Monroeville, Pennsylvania.

Both my lecture on July 11th (Apollo 11 : Fifty Years a Memory) and the Artist’s Reception for the art show on July 20th went very well.  To see the exhibit, go to my Exhibitions Page.  Additional information can be found at my:

LANDSCAPE PAINTING WITH OILS OR ACRYLICS  March 30, April 6, April 13, 2019 at the Greensburg Art Center. This class involved 9 hours of instruction over 3 sessions. Class turnout was good and we all had a good time. I might consider doing something similar in the future. Click on the poster at right for more details.

The Acrylic Landscape Workshop I taught on March 23, 2019 at the Monroeville Library was a complete success. About two dozen people showed up and had a great time painting a summer landscape.  My thanks to the Monroeville Arts Council and to Nancy Dalverney who helped make this event possible.

I had two new paintings on exhibit at the East Suburban Artists League’s art show at the Latrobe Art Center, April 3-30, 2019.  I have entered (left) April Showers, 16 x 20, oil on canvas, and (right), Spring in the Mountains, 14 x 18, oil on canvas. My thanks to the LAC for using my painting to illustrate their postcard.

In March of 2018 I had a Murrysville doctor’s office ask me to decorate their waiting room with two of my photographs.  They were both scenes of a foot bridge in Duff Park, which was actually located just across the street from this office.
