A Rail Less Travelled

Robert Chisholm
“A Rail Less Travelled”
Acrylic
12″ X 16″

Our newest Ontario artist to be showcased, Robert Chisholm is noted for his impressionistic, intuitive style that, with a combination of a limited palette and freedom of brushstrokes, allows the painting to evolve.
Born in Nova Scotia, this award winning artist works mainly in oils and acrylics and lives in Orangeville and is a valued member of the Headwaters Art Group and Southern Ontario Visual Artists. His East Coast influence emerges in his portraits and landscapes.
