About Me

My photo
Robert Holden
I'm a New York City oil painter of still lifes, portraits and figures. Nearly all my paintings are created entirely from life under natural light. I also sketch the figure from life with charcoal pencils on smooth newsprint. I hope that some of my thoughts on painters and painting will be of interest to a few like-minded souls who might stumble upon this blog. If you do, you are cordially invited to check out my online Etsy gallery, where some of my original oil paintings are available for purchase: https://www.etsy.com/shop/RobertHoldenFineArt. In addition, reproductions of my artwork are available for purchase on my Fine Art America website: http://robertholdenart.com/ I'm also on Facebook.
