Born in 1957, Ray Roberts is a California native who spent his formative years amidst the picturesque landscapes of Orange County. Raised among the verdant orange groves before the region saw the rise of freeways and urban sprawl, Roberts developed a deep-seated appreciation for the unspoiled beauty of California's pristine landscapes, a sentiment that would later echo through his art.
Following the untimely passing of his father in 1969 and his mother's ailing health, Roberts was sent to the Orme School, a serene ranch-style private boarding school nestled amidst the rugged terrain of the Arizona desert. It was here, set along the tranquil Ash Creek and surrounded by the sprawling Orme Cattle Ranch that he first began to explore his artistic inclinations. The school’s robust fine arts program helped nurture Roberts’ artistic talents and lay the foundation for his future career.
Roberts pursued a formal art education at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California, where he studied under the acclaimed artist John Asaro, and graduated with a bachelor of fine arts degree in 1978. To further refine his skills, Roberts studied under esteemed artists Dan McCaw, Len Chmiel, Ned Jacob, and Mark Daily.
While a student at ArtCenter, Roberts met his future wife, Impressionist painter Peggy Kroll. During their courting days, the art-minded couple would go out nightclubbing for the purpose of sketching rather than dancing! They were married in 1984, and have continued a successful partnership ever since.
Like many fine artists before him, Roberts began his career as an illustrator, establishing his first studio in Los Angeles and then in Scottsdale, Arizona. He transitioned his career to fine art in the early 1990s. Today, Ray Roberts is nationally recognized as a multi-award-winning artist for his atmospheric plein air paintings of California’s dynamic coast and majestic scenic landscapes. Additionally, his scenes of the Southwest and figurative work are also sought-after paintings.
Through his evocative canvases, Ray Roberts pursues a sense of time and place, and invites viewers to embark on a visual journey to find the rhythm, beauty and intricacies in nature. He seeks an interplay of light and shadow, color and form, and searches for discovery and familiarity. Ray Roberts’ use of vibrant color, sweeping brushstrokes, bold textures, and his sensitivity to shifting patterns of light and atmosphere, project life and movement to his paintings.

#5418 Washington County Vineyard (Impressionistic Green Country Landscape)
By Harry Orlyk
Located in Hudson, NY
oil on linen on homasote board, unframed 14.5 x 19 inches Harry Orlyk is celebrated for his ability to capture a rural country landscape with impressionistic brushstrokes and a bright color palette. Painting daily, the artist drives throughout the upstate New York, stopping to observe and paint 'en plain air' whenever and wherever a landscape strikes him. Orlyk prefers to leave his canvases unframed to reveal the exposed linen which are nailed to sturdy homasote boards for easy installation. '#5418 A Washington County Vineyard' is a perfect example of Orlyk's impressionistic aesthetic. Here, the artist captures a lush green field towards the end of summer. Orange leaves begin to appear atop green trees, creating a bright contrast with the blue mountains lining the horizon. Thick layers of paint are applied with expressive brushstrokes and culminate onto a textured surface. About the artist: Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947. In 1971 after graduating college, he went on to graduate school at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln . Over the next nine years, he was influenced by several Nebraskan artists. "Still-life painter Robin Smith taught me how to use paint without turpentine - to paint from the tube." He also admits the influence of photographer Lawrence McFarland who taught him what spiritual space was, and how to emphasize it. Lastly he credits well-known Lincoln painter Keith Jacobshagen...

Painting daily, the artist drives throughout the upstate New York, stopping to observe and paint 'en plain air' whenever and wherever a landscape strikes him.

This painting is a perfect example of Orlyk's impressionistic aesthetic. Here, the artist captures a quaint country landscape in a range of warm, golden tones. Orlyk's signature use of soft yellows creates a gently luminous atmosphere. The scene is made with gestural strokes of paint that culminate onto a textured, impasto surface. The artist's signature is located in the lower right corner. The artist prefers to leave his paintings unframed. The painting can be installed with one nail, hammered behind the linen and through the homasote board. About the artist: Harry Orlyk was born in Troy, New York in 1947.
