Larry Grob

Southwards out of Vermont. A Colrain Evening

Larry Grob has received the Neil Jacobs Memorial Award for excellence in any medium from the Rockport Art Association, for his pastel landscape 'Southwards out of Vermont. A Colrain Evening'. The elements of composition and lighting struck the artist during a late Fall drive, when he "screeched to a halt, ran into the middle of the road, took a reference photo, and rushed back to the studio to paint." Additional work is viewable on Larry's web portfolio at: www.larrygrob.com
