Robert A. Blenderman is a self-taught artist, who has been painting since 1960. His works have been shown in galleries in Kingston, Germany, and the USA. His landscapes can be soft and impressionistic, semi-abstract, or verging on pure abstract expressionism in the progressively less representational works.
