Robert Cook paints "moods", late evening, early morning, impressions of melancholy or lonesomeness, "the feeling you get when fall comes and the shadows change." Traditional landscapes as well as contemporary and figurative works are his subjects.

He uses acrylic and layered glazing on textured canvas to complete an old-world finish that most mistake for oils. His landscapes in particular have a calming effect on most people.

The artist believes that art means to us what it meant to the cave dwellers. Company. Inspiration. Expression. Just as personalities bring uniqueness to a relationship, so do different styles of art.

His paintings are found in numerous private and corporate collections, both nationally and internationally.
