Artist Statement I enjoy painting out doors even with all of the distractions. The sun moves, the clouds move, the rain comes at you, and bugs pester you. Each painting is a challenge but still the thrill and satisfaction of capturing your scene is special and exhilarating.
Background Information Robert Rohrich started on – site oil painting in 1995 with Gary Fifer a Hudson River painter of impressionistic landscapes. Now as a resident of Florida his current body of work is devoted to the Florida landscape. His subjects are the marshes, beaches, waterways, and nature preserves, and marinas or boatyards.

Esther McHenry said… - Hi, I'm looking for places to paint & perhaps you have sites in & near Put Valley. I've lived here 4 years, love it, but I'm sure there are sites I've not visited/painted. Suggestions would be welcome. Hope you are painting happily in Fla.

- TERRY MY FAVORITE of all places to paint is The Loop,actually The Ormond Beach Loop. I it is old Florida and very scenic. About twenty minutes north of Daytona. In Daytona, I like Beach St. with the park along the Intracoastal waterway, And the interesting store fronts. The city marina is also on Beach St. and a side street goes into a nic e park behind the marina parking area. And of course the beaches over on the A.1.A. side.

- Sounds like a wonderful trip! Good thing about the museum board is that it is both lighter and less bulky than most other panels and you can make a lot of panels for not much money--just take a day or so to make 5-8 large pieces. You can cut 16--8 x 10's--from one board. Depending on your palette, you have to tape them onto a piece of foam core for painting. Just take a few pieces of foam core a little bigger than the panel.
I think this is where I purchased last time:

I envy you - painting in Florida. I am from California and so miss the palm trees - none of those in Colorado.

Johanna Morrell said… - You are kidding! How could you give up watercolor. I guess what I like about it is that it can be so spontaneous looking and free. However, I do miss the colors you can get with oil and, seemingly, no other medium.
Yes, Greece is fantastic and Mel is a such a fine painter. Good workshop so far. Johanna
