"Paintings are a beautiful way to express yourself. Often one painting can take months to accomplish. When it's finally finished, to the artist it's like coming home. A sense of relief, and yet a longing to take the journey again as soon as possible. The perfect scene, from the artist's mind to the brush. For the artist it's a familiar place, our own. Our emotions compel us to feelings of possesiveness and pride, yet in the end we let go, hoping the viewer sees what we see. A beautiful place that once only existed in the mind; now a place we can travel back to, again and again."
Robbin Fariss Peckham
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Robbin is an artist who thoroughly enjoys wildlife, nature and being outdoors. She started drawing in pencil when she was a child, quickly learning that animals were one of her favorite subjects. In 1987 her husband Russell bought her a set of Grumbacher oil paints and brushes. After completing only a few paintings, she knew that being an artist was more than a hobby, it was her passion. And it's still true today. Her inspiration comes from her home in the Pacific Northwest, at the foothills of the Oregon Coast Range. Some of the wildlife native to this area are Roosevelt Elk, Blacktail Deer, Black Bear, Cougar, Bobcat, Coyote, Fox, Raptors, and numerous waterfowl. Robbin is a member of The Wildlife Artists Netlink.
Education: Robbin is primarily a self-taught artist. She attended Western Business College after high school, but never forgot her love for art and nature. In recent years she has taken several art classes at Portland Community College, and some private classes as well. She is a dedicated Realism/Representational Artist who is committed to portraying detailed wildlife in their natural habitat. She enjoys taking hikes with her sketchbook, and watching for wildlife. When the Oregon weather kicks in, she's in the reference library at her studio painting, or gathering information on her current projects. This year Robbin will be entering several art competitions and exhibitions, and hopes to keep improving her art.

This is me, trying to decide what animal is going to go in the next painting. See that bottle of Guinness up in the window? It wasn't bad, but I want the real thing! Lol, hoping my art helps me get to Ireland someday, while I can still enjoy it.

These mini's are fun to paint. I use reading glasses, a magnifying glass, paint brushes with just a few hairs, dental tools, and sometimes the tip of a needle to get the paint in just the right spot.

Painted for Bill and Donna Marble, this is a scene in Kootenay, Canada. A lone horseman and his mule coming around the bend, are headed for some surprises. There's elk, a mountain lion, black bear, and an eagle in the shadow of those purple mountains.
