Robert Cook

Robert Cook was born in 1948 and is a self-taught artist.He has painted professionally since 1989. He uses acrylic and layered glazing on textured canvas to complete an old-world finish that most mistake for oils. His landscapes in particular have a calming effect on most people. He has perfected a unique technique of hand painting and embellishing his canvas prints. Each image is treated to several hours of hand embellishment that creates a copy as close to the original as possible.

Cook paints “moods”, late evening, early morning, impressions of melancholy or lonesomeness, “The feeling you get when fall comes and the shadows change.”Robert Cook’s paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally. His work is also represented in prestigious galleries in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
