Rob Alexander, artist informationRob paints Fine Art, Fantasy and Science Fiction, Children's Illustrations and contemporary landscapes. The mountains which feature so prominently in many of his paintings are definitely inspired by the Canadian Rockies, which were an huge influence on Rob personally and artistically. "It was landscape art that got me started drawing and painting as a child, and it remains my first love to paint. I was also heavily influenced by Tolkien's works. I had most of the Lord of the Rings read to me in the 2nd grade, and it has remained a huge influence and favored reading ever since. I have also always had a love for old, beautiful art. The really good pieces that you see in museums and art history books. Everyone from Vermeer and Rembrandt to Reubens, Leonardo and Halls. From old Venetian painting to the Academic and pre-Raphaelite artists. Church and Bierstadt, Sargent and Alma-Tadema - the list goes on and on. Not all landscape painters, by any means, but all of them good painters, and all of them fascinated with the play of light across their subject. "
