Bob Blackmon
Oil on Canvas -- Glimmer of Hope

2018

About the Item

This oil on canvas still-life features a close-up of a field of poppies, vibrant in their red orange color. The poppies gain significance as they stand against a background various shades of grey similar to a turbulent sky. Are the poppies a signal of how hope lives in the midst of darkened skies? This still life is sold with a wooden frame. The artist has signed it in the front. Bob Blackmon has been painting since 1973, but retirement as a university dean has allowed him to work full time on painting, teaching art, and exhibiting. Bob’s landscapes and still lifes have been shown in galleries throughout the country. His work is represented by two Irish galleries, one in County Waterford, and the other in County Kerry; he lives and has a studio in Troy, NY.
