ing Ruth in a merrier mood.
A new painting of a matured Lyttelton Wood, holding a turkey feather, among trees and with a symbolic red-bellied woodpecker perched beside him, is another example of the finish and literalness of Robin’s technique.
A pastel drawing of Sylvia Golubic captures a skepticism and a slight sadness one doesn’t associate with this vibrant, responsive person.
A red pencil drawing, a study for a painting of Joyce Abell, brings out a dignity and pensiveness we recognize in this strong personality. To me Joyce seems to be thinking T.S. Eliot’s, “Time present and time past/Are both perhaps present in time future,/And time future contained in time past.”
Each of Robin’s pictures is worthy of comment, including the four I have not mentioned. All of them display a distinct realism which, like a mnemonic trick, impresses the image in the viewer’s mind. I should also like to call attention to several handsome picture frames. We are lucky to have Robin’s interest in preserving for us some of the memorable citizens of Rappahannock.
The paintings will be on display through the month of May.
