Bob's Story
 

Bob Schmitz grew up in New York. His father was a commercial artist whose influence strongly motivated Bob to pursue art as a career. This career, however, did not begin until later in life. Bob's love of art and the development of his present style, transformed over many years while he was running one of his other business ventures. Bob has now put his other business activities aside to do what he loves to do the most---paint and sculpt.

Bob’s love for scuba diving and the exotic colors of the beautiful coral reefs of the tropical islands strongly influence his art. Many of his original works were scenes of coral reefs and tropical islands. Even today, his modern impressionistic and abstract works are influenced by the reefs and the bright colors that are found there.

Bob’s earlier works were more realistic in style The evoloution to the abstract has placed his art on another level, where creativity comes through him and is expressed with numerous mediums onto the surface of the canvas. Texture, feeling color, shape, all come from the feelings that the artist is expressing at the moment.
