James Robinson, a native of the Lone Star State, chose Texas's rugged landscape as his primary subject matter. An intimate knowledge of Texas and the many facets of the western landscape are obvious when one views a painting created by the artist. Born in Houston in 1944, Robinson always knew he would be an artist. He was committed to his education and earned a BFA. He studied both commercial and fine art as a freelance designer and illustrator, polishing his painting skills on the side.
Robinson was influenced by such artists as Frank Tenney Johnson, James Reynolds, Howard Terpning, John Singer Sargent and Joaquin Sorolla. He sought to evoke these qualities in his own work and establish his own niche in Western art by unique combinations of light, color and action. Robinson won numerous awards including Artist’s Choice in 2010 and Best Group in 2007 from the Briscoe Museum’s Night of Artists show in San Antonio, Texas. Another honor was the Olaf Wieghorst Award for the best painting at the 2007 Mountain Oyster Show in Tucson, Arizona.
The painting appears to be in good condition. Under UV examination, there is no evidence of restoration or inpainting.
John Robinson Collection, Austin, Texas
