Art Wednesday: Robert Duncan
 |
| A morning hug |
Artist: Robert Duncan
Born 1952
I came across this artist quite by accident when I was searching for a mother and child painting. I found just what I wanted in "The magic hour" and the further I looked the more I loved his artworks. Many of Robert Duncan's paintings are of mothers and children and he has captured ordinary moments so beautiful, such as in the one above "A morning hug". Perhaps this is because he has watched his wife Linda bringing up their 6 children.
Robert Duncan was born in Salt Lake City in 1952 and grew up in a large family of ten children. His models are usually family members and friends from the area. He spent the summers helping his grandparents on their 10,000 acre cattle ranch in Wyoming.
I can't decide which painting is my favourite, by the one below would have to be included - can't you just feel the summer sun setting and the air cooling as mother and her children collect flowers in the garden - chatting quietly to each other. I can.

Do enjoy.

To be honest, I could have kept on going with these beautiful paintings . . . I know I say this often, but with Robert Duncan's artwork, there was just so many I wanted to share with you.
Perhaps just one or two or three more paintings.

Sarah liked your paintings today! =)
ReplyDeleteI am so glad , they are very pretty :)
ReplyDeleteLove the girl with the carrots, something serious about her expression as she shows off the carrots (Nick note the Jerusalem artichokes in the background). The cow shots remind me of the farm days, though bringing the cows home in bare feet would not have worked! Beautiful art work.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! You pick some great artists ! :)
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! Such description.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, those are gorgeous!! SO beautiful! :)
ReplyDeleteThis man's artwork is exceptional! Even though there are a lot of really winsome pictures here that I like, I think my favorite is "The Sledding Party", and the reason is that it makes me smile inside because of the subtle humor. :-)
ReplyDeleteI think the mother in the nightgown with her son is wondering if she can get everything done that day that she has to do. ;-) That's probably what my mother would have been thinking in a similar situation. hehe
