ROBIN WEISS PLEIN AIRE / IMPRESSIONISM “As a full-time artist working mostly ‘en plein air’, I appreciate the incredible beauty that surrounds us. I strive to reflect that beauty on canvas, utilizing light and color to create a scene that captures the eye and draws a person into the atmosphere of the place. At an early age my mentor and teacher Louis Penfield, encouraged sketching and painting from life. I began developing an awareness of the elegance of everyday objects, people and places.” "I had a love for art throughout my childhood but began to mature creatively under the mentorship of high school art teacher Lou Penfield. Painting has since been a lifelong passion. Weiss paints the Northwest with unambiguous brush strokes. His genre is varied; he is proficient with landscape, still life and figurative subjects. With a comprehensive understanding of color theory and color in nature, his paintings exhibit this mastery. I am often stopped in my tracks when the light at certain times of day hits an object or landscape and makes it come alive with color. I'm inspired by all of creation in its many forms but it's all about the light." “As a full-time artist working mostly ‘en plein air’, I appreciate the incredible beauty that surrounds us.
