The Story Of This Painting.

Musicians collaborate when composing and preforming music. Why not visual artists. This painting is a result of a collaboration between me and Jennifer Payne.

Robert and Jennifer

I just finished this painting "Fairy". It's a collaboration by me and Jennifer Payne. She trusted me enough to let me add some of my Neo-Pointillist dots to her wonderful 24"x40" oil painting. The concept is kind of like jamming with a jazz musician. But instead of music it's with visual art. The idea is to have the two contrasting styles harmonize yet still have that tension created by the different styles.

This painting will be a part of an exhibition June 28, 2024 at Gallery500 in Daytona, FL. The exhibition will include other collaborative paintings that I have done with Beau Wild, Lillian Verkins, Jean Banas, and Jennifer Payne. I am so honored to have their trust and the opportunity to collaborate on paintings with these wonderful artists.

I have always loved Jennifers paintings with her loose playful brushwork and the thick imposto that she applies to her paintings. You can learn more about my journey to Pointillism here.
