$1,200.00Intent to Purchase • Who was your primary influence and why? My father, Ted, was the most influential. He provided me with paper, pencils, paint, and the time and encouragement to pursue my life as a painter. • What is your favorite color to paint? Green. • What is your favorite piece of art and why? My favorite work of art is Summer Night by Eilif Peterssen. This painting encompasses great composition, color, and brushwork. Each time I look at it, I feel inspired. Bob Barlow is the son of a pioneer ranching family and was educated at the Art Institute of Chicago. His love of travel and outdoor painting takes him frequently to Africa, notably Tanzania and Kenya, as well as many locations in Europe. During trips over the past three years, he painted the cities, desert, and coastline of Morocco. Two months in the Western Cape of South Africa produced many recent new works. He continues to focus on the landscapes of his native region Wyoming and Montana, where he currently maintains a home and studio.
