I’m ROBERT LEWIS and I am actively working to improve my painting skills so that I may be able to apprehend the beautiful effects of light on the landscape.
Monterey, California, Carmel, Seaside, Salinas valley, and around the Monterey Bay to Santa Cruz are the primary places that I paint outdoors. Studio work is also part of my practice.
