Robert Long Robert Long passed away in April 2008 after a long battle with illness. For this artist, painting was a part of his thirst for learning. His paintings have meaning beyond the visual image. He felt that a good painting and the thought behind it should be, for the viewer, what a grain of sand is to the oyster. Robert Longs' decision to paint had its roots in a quotation from philosopher Will James which paraphrased says "The best use of life is to spend it for something which will outlast it." Robert The search for subject matter lured him to every region of the U.S. to Canada, Mexico, Europe and the Mediterranean. Watercolor is his chosen medium. Eight limited edition prints have been published from his watercolor paintings. All are sold out and several have appreciated to considerable value on the secondary market. In 1994 he married his wife Sharon, also an accomplished watercolor painter. They worked together teaching watercolor workshops around the United States and Canada.
