About the Artist: C.R. (Bob) Bryant has worked to perfect his ability as a visual artist. Working primarily with traditional oil on linen, using techniques of the old masters, learned over many years of study, he has become a master of realism. He has also perfected the rare and unusual technique of painting on copper used by early Dutch and Flemish painters and revered as the perfect ground for oils.
Known for his ability to paint water he also has a working knowledge of sailing ships and today he is recognized as a leading international maritime artist. Relocating to the Pacific Northwest in 1988, his focus has centered on preserving the rich maritime history of Tacoma, Seattle, and the Puget Sound. He maintains a professional art studio on Raft Island near Gig Harbor.
His understanding and appreciation of visual arts has been enriched while living abroad and devoting considerable time in the world's great art museums, living and painting in the footsteps of the old masters. Bryant is a veteran single hand sailor and never far from the sea preferring to live on or near the ocean. In 1997, Bryant made the decision to paint professionally and began marketing his work by founding Emerald Island Studios. His work is actively collected by individuals, government and major corporations internationally. A considerable number of paintings are produced each year for donation to selected causes supporting the arts, maritime heritage and historical conservation.
His work has been selected for numerous exhibits including the Coos Art Museum (winning the People's Choice Award in 1999), the Newport Maritime Museum where his work is part of the permanent collection and his paintings have been selected for ten consecutive years at the International Maritime Art Exhibitions at Mystic Seaport. His painting of HMS Rose was awarded Best of Show at the Tacoma Tall Ships in 2005. He is a director and member of the Puget Sound Group of Northwest Painters, the oldest fraternal society of professional artists in America.
