I make nature inspired oil paintings. I bounce between #EurekaSprings Arkansas and #Charlevoix #Mi. Team Normal-Dark Woke. #FineArt #Artist #Illustrator #oilpaint #acrylics #inkandwatercolor
Pinned
Influenced by #JeanGiraud, #VanGogh, and #Gauguin, I explore bold colors and expressive strokes. Van Gogh’s cherry blossoms struck me, but my connection is personal—I worked in orchards while in art school. This 36x48-inch oil painting pays tribute to those artists while reflecting my own journey.
"Black Cat in the Garden"

A little black cat tucked into the flowers, completely at home. One of those paintings people stop and smile at — always something new hiding in the brushwork.

Original oil.

"Northern Lights Pines"

Dark pines against ribbons of green and violet light. The kind of night sky that makes you pull over and just stand there.

24×36 oil on canvas.

"Cherry Blossom Sky"

Soft pink blossoms against a warm sky — that fleeting week in spring when everything blooms at once and you wish you could freeze time.

Original oil painting.

"Deer Creek Birch"

Looking straight up through the birch canopy at a sky on fire. That moment when the sun drops low and everything turns gold and violet.

"Sunlit Giants"

Towering sunflowers catching the last afternoon light. Bold strokes and color you can feel across the room. The kind of painting that commands a wall.

Original oil painting.

New painting — "Volunteers"

Those flowers that show up uninvited and steal the show. Hollyhocks, black-eyed Susans, and poppies blooming through the birch trees like they own the place.

16×20 oils & oil pastels. Framed. Still drying — ships in ~6 weeks.

Been in a rut since last fall. Then I found oil pastels over oil paint and everything clicked. "Big Red" — my first large piece with this new approach. 24×36 in., oil & oil pastel on canvas. Haven't been in the zone like this in a long time. #art #charlevoix romanthepainter.com/products/big...

Went back to acrylics for the first time in years after hitting a creative rut. Different pace, different energy. These two are from that batch — “Morning Loon” and “West End Sunset.” Both 11x14, professional acrylic on Masonite, gold Plein Air frames.

“Bingo!” Sometimes you just have to let the color run wild. Bright flowers, ripe apples, a tablecloth my grandmother would’ve had in her kitchen. I wanted this one to feel like walking into a room full of sunlight and laughter.

Oils and oil pastel on canvas panel, 14x18.

New painting: “Spring Without You.” Lost my father this winter. Painted this after the first songbirds of spring returned and the fishing boats were back on the lake — things we did together every year. The skull wasn’t planned. The wildflowers felt right.

Hope you're all doing all right out there. This is a painting from today's short session. It's oils on a 14x18-in canvas panel. I'm calling it bingo! #Oilpainting #painting #art #artist

One of my paintings from today. "Blue chair flowers" is 11x14 canvas panel painted with acrylics. A little shout out to Gabriele Münter (Der Blaue Reiter).#Art #Painting #Expressionism #AcrylicPainting #FineArt #BlueSkyArt #ArtGallery #InteriorDesign #FloralArt #GabrieleMunter #ArtistOnBlueSky

Decades old fish cutouts I made before they were trendy, plus an octopus table I built from scratch. All hand-painted with durable exterior acrylics. #Woodworking #ArtSky #MarineArt #Handmade #CoastalDecor #FolkArt #Creative #Sculpture #Makers #Art #artist #painting

This is the kind of furniture I built for 25 years. I lived on a mountain top and harvested wood from trees that had died or were freshly cut on the side of the road. Literally making my living off the land. #Rusticfurniture #woodworking #furniture #furnituredesign #functionalart #natureart

Here's a couple of close-ups of the poster illustration I did for those Ozark Mountain Music Festival in Eureka Springs which is going on this weekend. I'm all over a thousand miles away so yeah I won't be attending again. #Illustrator #illustration #art #artist #inkandwatercolor

Here is a 9x12 acrylic painting on Masonite that's entirely from my own imagination I finished up recently. No reference images used at all. #art #artist #painting #acrylic #painting #landscapepainting

I wonder if they'll have me back? Lol. That's my booth in paintings featured in the top photograph. #bayHarborMichigan #upnorth #Petoskey #Charlevoix

After taking a break for a week to deal with my father's passing I decided to jump back in to it with this little 9x12 acrylic painting. #Painting #art #artist #acrylicpainting #landscapeart #birchtrees #wildflowerart #impressionism

Got those fancy new acrylics in late yesterday so this morning I broke them right out. This is a 8x10 on smooth masonite.

I saw YouTube video of an artist painting a Sunset and acrylics and I wondered if I could pull it off in oils. After painting this I decided to invest in some professional grade acrylics and spend a couple of weeks doing some acrylic paintings again. I'll let you all know how it goes. #Oilpainting

So a couple of days ago I was playing around with some pre-toned canvas sheets as an experiment. I thought I would paint the Mushroom House in #Charlevoix #Michigan to see how they would work out. #Oilpaint #art #artist #painting
