" Water in the Mountains" 5"x 7" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Okay, maybe that river I'm dreaming of could be in the mountains. That could be good.

" On the Bank" 6"x8" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Here is another in a river sequence. I don't live on a river, but the idea of it cools me down on these hot days where one can only dream of such things while sipping a cool glass of lemonade.

" Rainy Day in the River" 5"x7" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Believe it or not, we have had a little rain since I started posting my rain dance paintings, but we also have 100 plus degree weather too. Hope you enjoy this one.

" Rainy Day on the River" 5"x7" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Ditto the "Rain Dance" paintings idea from yesterday.

"Fish on a Rainy Day" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Maybe I will call these painting the "Rain Dance" paintings so we could maybe get some rain to cool things down, for a minute, at least.

"Reflecting" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Here is another water inspired painting. It might also be indicative of my state of mind.

"Water Circles" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

Water seems to be a theme running through this little series. Maybe since we are finally having real Oklahoma summer, i.e. 100 degree weather, I am dreaming of cool water. Maybe we need a swimming pool. Hee hee!

"Turbulence" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

2008-07-19T09:32:00.000-07:00

"Pink Sky" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

I am interested in the physicality of the paint in these landscape variations. Although they are abstracted they still evoke the feeling of sky and land. In this painting, however, everything is upside down.

"Red Sea" 4"x6" Acrylic on Canvas Robin Orbach Starke $100

This painting is actually the first painting, chronologically, in this new series. I have given myself the project of using a certain group of colors for this group of paintings.

Hi! I'm Robin. Welcome to my new painting-a-day blog. I am a painter/sculptor, living in Oklahoma City, OK, and have been working full time as an artist, for the most part, since graduating from Skidmore College in 1987.

Since the summer of 1989, when I attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, I have been building large and small scale, steel sculpture.

Painting has always been an integral part of my work, and remains so today even though, in some circles, I am better known as a sculptor.

In the fall of 2006, a fellow painter, Christina Pickard and I embarked on a painting-a-day blog called Time to Make the Donuts to showcase our collaborative paintings. It was very successful,and we had a good time working on it. Things have gotten busy for both of us, and we haven't been able to get together to paint for awhile, so I thought that I would start a blog and ebay store for my paintings. I consider the paintings as an online sketchbook.

The paintings will be for sale at my Ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/paintingsfromtheplayhouse, or you can inquire about them and/or purchase some for your friends and family at my email address starkeart@cox.net

I hope you enjoy seeing this work that I am having so much fun making.
