About Robert Allen...
I am essentially self-taught. On occasion I
attended classes given by various Bucks County Artists. I began painting in
1995, initially with pastel and watercolor, but soon changed to oils. This has
remained my preferred and exclusive medium.
My paintings depict rural landscapes, farms,
farm animals, wildlife, covered bridges and other historic structures. My
objective is to capture and preserve the rich history and bountiful beauty of
the area in and adjacent to Bucks County. My work is described as realistic
impressionism; vivid in color and movement with a strong sense of dimension and
presence.
