I am a contemporary Canadian landscape artist. I'm a visual story teller engaged in a mad race against time. recording disappearing pre-urbanized landscapes, as cities swallow land in fertile temperate zones. I use Elemental Texture, Luminous Colour, Symbolic Shapes and Lyrical Line and a process I have developed and call Glazed Acrylic. also see me on instagram @robinbarattaartist

The Hill On Mapleton Line



On  a softly undulating landscape, a dramatic drop and rise tells of of glacial times, when melting ice sent torrents of water into a newly forming inland fresh water sea. Today, after a steep climb it makes for a great view of the surrounding fertile fields, and the not so distant city.

Dancing Palms


Dancing Palms, Diptych 
One of our favourite places on earth is Hunting Island SC, this barrier island is exposed to the Atlantic, and barely above sea level, which puts it at great risk from the changing weather patterns. This group of palms is just off the campground beach path, even though there have been successive devastating hurricanes recently, they still stand. Their neighbouring Pines have succumbed, the Live Oaks have had much damage, but the silly mop head palms survive. There is something to be  said for being  flexible, and able to shed your fronds when the going gets tough.
Be like a palm, dance your way through the hurricanes of life.
