About the Artist
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Robert
Blehert discovered pencils and began creating magic on paper at
the age of three.
Robert's first commissioned artwork, at 15, was a pastel
portrait of a friend's dog. Moving to Seattle after
college, he studied
extensively with Libby Berry, a nationally known wildlife
artist, and learned to implement the painting techniques of the
Old Masters (see Blehert's painting "Dawn" done in
this style, below).

Libby stressed the importance of utilizing various
natural laws in masterfully executing any style of painting.
Having always had a great talent and
love for portrait art, Robert has continued to pursue that field
with considerable success as witnessed by his ever growing list
of clients.
More recently, the
artist decided that commissioned work was not an end in itself,
and has proceeded to express his feelings about life on canvas
in a way he hopes will communicate to a large number of people.
As a person and as an artist, Robert enjoys communicating
straight from the heart with an immediacy he feels is best
expressed with impressionism. Robert feels that impressionism,
rather than stressing a specific style, is a way of approaching
the perfect balance between technique and message. It is a way
of stressing feeling while not abandoning the technical mastery
that goes into the expression of that feeling.
Ultimately, Robert
doesn't pay much attention to labels, but cares more about the
effect his paintings have on viewers. If the viewers can share a
fraction of the artist's excitement in creating a work, Robert
will consider himself successful!
