ABOUT THE ART
I paint for the pleasure of it. I like to pick a subject or object and develop a design with color and composition. There’s no scholarly approach to it; just plain enjoyment.
-C. Robert Buchanan
Bob Buchanan approaches his paintings as he does his architecture, with technical skills and a deep knowledge of the fine arts. The Butler is pleased to present another side to the work of one of the most talented individuals to hold a paint brush or handle a T-square. We are that much richer each time Bob presents his beautiful watercolors or adds to the architectural achievements of our region which carry his name.
