About the Item

ROBERT KENNETH WHITE – "SOFT GAZE" ⚜ Oil on canvas ⚜ Hand signed lower right ⚜ Frameless display TONAL FIGURE STUDY IN QUIET CONTEMPLATION In Soft Gaze, Robert Kenneth White presents a timeless, introspective portrait of a seated woman rendered in warm tonal hues. The subject’s downcast expression and softened gesture convey a moment of stillness and vulnerability, inviting the viewer into a quiet emotional space. Executed in a restrained, near-monochrome palette, the composition fuses classical figure study with contemporary minimalism. The result is a contemplative image that speaks to inner emotion as much as physical presence.

"Dancer's Dream" Large Original Oil Painting by Robert White, Frameless Display
Located in Encino, CA
“Dancer's Dream,” an original oil on canvas by Robert K. White, is a piece for the true collector. White’s careful attention to detail and vivid use of greens, browns, and whites project from the painting, immediately capturing the viewer's attention and highlighting the artist's keen ability to capture emotion and life - all in a brushstroke. White's talent for depicting light and shadow provides the foundation for him to deliver subjects and scenes to the viewer's eye. This masterful work would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for dancers, the ballet, portraits, and color-rich works of art.

I have to start the painting quickly or else it will be gone and I will lose that image forever.” Artist: ROBERT KENNETH WHITE...
