Robert's fascination with the beauty of nature is obvious in his work. Even more important to this artist is the constant exploration into the use of light and color to convey emotion. A lifelong pursuit, he intends!

About the artist
Copyright 2008 - Robert P. Byrne
Robert has twice participated in the famous C.M. Russell Museum Auction in Great Falls, Montana, including the Auction's exciting Quick Draw event. During the 1993 Auction, his portrait of Charlie Russell was used as a major promotional piece for the show - front cover of the Great Falls Tribune's Auction supplement!
North of the border, at the world-famous Calgary Stampede's Western Art Show, Robert's work has many times been in the Gallery of Western Art, the Auction, and the Quick Draw events. His art has graced the walls of private collectors from the United States, England, France, Australia, Japan, and Thailand - and available in galleries in western Canada and the USA.

Robert Byrne first delved into the world of art with a cliché - the famous "Draw Me" advertisement! Since those early days, he has avidly studied watercolors with Keith Thomas, and oils with Stan Perrott; graduated with honors in Advertising Art from the Alberta College of Art; worked as a commercial artist in studios from Vancouver, British Columbia to Bombay, India; and finally left commercial art behind in 1989 to pursue landscape and wildlife painting, western art, and commissioned portraits on a full-time basis.
