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

Treeline

 


Treeline

A gentle separation, of field and field, crop and crop, properties, a treeline waves. Far friendlier than a fence, and a place for the wildlings to travel to, from and along, poplars, maple, sometimes evergreen are green punctuation marks upon the landscape.

Swirls


Swirls

Across undulation hills the tractors dance, in their wake the soil swirls, lines and rhythms to catch the artists eye, patterns in the earth, visual music.

Tor

 

                                                                           Tor

 Tor, Celtic hill fort, an ancient place of safety, now a place of peace and dreams, surrounded by fields of wild daffodils, and grazing sheep.  If only all battle grounds could be this way.

Across the Field

 

Across The Field

Distant silos beckon the weary farmer home, not just  storage, but a beacon too, standing tall amongst the trees and crops, a guide at the end on a long hard day.

Road To The Lake

 

Road To The Lake

Taking the back roads to Tobermory to catch the Chi-cheemaun is for many Ontarians a summer tradition. All roads lead to the lake, and good memories.

Summer Days



Summer Days
Country roads on summer days, memories of road trips watching the land slip by on our way to our holiday destinations.

Into The Hills



Into The Hills
Hills dip down to the road, furrows wrinkle their brows, and trees dressed for autumn adorn their crests, but wait what's that...a sold for development sign. So sad where once rolling hills, a small pond and trees dwelled, resides a factory. Is it really progress?

Waiting for Spring


 Waiting For Spring
Old corn rows peek out between the remains of snow, willows glow gold, as the sap begins to flow. There is a faint shimmer of colour everywhere, as life stirs just below the surface, waiting for spring.
