Hello,
I am Robin Theobald and I was born in London in March 1948.
I took up art as a preference (over chemistry) when attending
Christ’s College, Grammar School, Finchley, North London.
I had always been enthralled with paintings exhibited near Hampstead
Heath which drove me, even from an earlier age, to paint. At the age
of fourteen I was given a set of oil paints which reinforced my
passion for painting ever since, taking inspiration from the
landscape paintings of John Constable, (If only I could match his
talent)
During the 80’s I lived in Fareham, Hampshire and joined the art
society within that town which gave me further insight and an
opportunity to display and sell my work at the local library.
Since that time I have been painting on and off for many years and
my wife and I currently live in Clifton Village (near Preston),
Lancs. where we have been now for over 20 years
In 2011 I took the opportunity to display my work through Prom Art
at Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria and I will be displaying my work again
during spring / summer in 2012

I always work in oils on canvass and have recently arranged through
a friend to also provide quality prints of my work
Regards,
Robin W. Theobald |
