The Gift

Bob ‘s art career originally started with sculpture. He later became interested in painting aquatic

scenes in oil and acrylic, gravitating toward acrylic. A number of years ago, Bob began

experimenting with Abstract and impressionistic styles and began adding texture to his work, creating a mixed medium effect and a three-dimensional, sometimes bas relief effect in his paintings, which has been described as “creating Sculpture on canvas.”

Bobs latest works are abstract and impressionistic views of Jazz bands, rock bands, individual musicians, orchestras, singers, mostly focusing on musical themes. These paintings are signed with the name ANTON, which is Bob’s middle name and his grandfather’s first name.
