Primrose Creek

I started this painting in The Before Times and have been pecking away at it for months. The other night I was looking at it and decided it was finished!

April G.O.A.T.

Happy April, Friends! This is Magic Johnson aka G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time). @davidsteinglass passes this handsome guy frequently and felt he should be memorialized standing on his favorite table.

March Madness / Double Trouble

Happy March! These are my portraits of Olive and Pepper, Lucy Ruwitch Langer’s two Cairn Terriers who love each other so much that I had to weave them together. I feel especially grateful for our furry friends today as they keep us grounded and connected to the present moment and remind us of our capacity to love even when we are feeling fearful.

Happy 2020!

Happy New Year! Happy New Decade! It’s The Year of the Horse, at least in my studio. This is FRANCESCA’s SHADOW, a memorial portrait commissioned by Andy Ackerman for someone who recently lost her long time friend. It’s my first horse portrait, and I’m hoping to do lots more. So tell your horse-y friends that Robert Lucy is painting horses in 2020!

Lucy the Bijon Frisé

For my last post of the decade, I present LUCY, the Bijon Frisé. Meredith Knight (my dear sister) commissioned this Christmas portrait of her new friend with the name that is woven through her life in various and meaningful ways. Thank you all who have supported my work this last decade.
