2023

“Being There,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of browns and reds project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for cityscapes, theater, and architecture. In the artist’s own words, “I don’t paint what is inside of me; I paint what I see outside of me. I’m an observer. If I see something and I feel an affinity for it, something just clicks in my head. I’ll make the decision right then and there to paint that particular subject during that particular moment. It’s a perfect moment. Once something has caught my eye and I’ve heard the “perfect” click, it’s like a photograph has been taken in my mind’s eye. I only have a few days of clarity with that image. I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "TRANQUILITY" ⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed lower left ⚜ Frameless display ARCHITECTURAL GARDEN STUDY IN SUNLIT STILLNESS In Tranquility, Robert Kenneth White captures a moment of quiet illumination in a Mediterranean-style garden. A classical terracotta urn rests amid wildflowers and trimmed hedges, framed by palm fronds, stucco walls, and pale blue shutters. The painting balances bright floral textures with deep shadow, inviting viewers into a peaceful courtyard retreat. As the artist reflects, “This painting was inspired by the timeless beauty of southern France, and the wonderful homes that one finds there.” That inspiration shines through in both the subject and atmosphere—an evocation of warmth, elegance, and enduring charm. Known for his mastery of architectural scenes and natural light, White renders this composition with both structural clarity and painterly softness. The glowing focal point and contrasting cool shade exemplify his skill at evoking calm and stillness through light and design.
