| In 1982 while Bob was a student at the FCA's Salt Spring Island Workshop he walked into Ruckles' barn and saw a well lit dairy pail hanging from one of the beams. In a few hours he produced one of his finest early paintings. This painting was chosen by the FCA to travel to England to be shown in top English galleries. Double click on it to enlarge the image |

| In the 1990's Bob taught Mathematics in Indonesia for three summers and as a result absorbed the warm equator sun and and all of the bright images. To the right is his memory of a young Balinese girl bringing offerings into the ocean. Bali is an absolutely wonderful island to visit. Everyone there is an artist: ie. a painter, a woodcarver, or a dancer etc. Go there! |
