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.
Since 2011 I have been able to display my work through Prom Art at
Grange-over-Sands, Cumbria and I have become a member of the Lytham
St. Annes Art Society. I always work in oils on canvas, mostly
landscapes, taking inspiration from places I have visited. I have
also had a number of commissions to produce pet portraits.
Regards,
Robin W. Theobald
