The Person |
The Artist |
Bob Holland's great love of animals and his enjoyment of painting were easily combined and throughout his working life he has painted animals as a hobby. In more recent years he has become semi-professional and paints both for pleasure and income. As a member of a local art society he has had many of his paintings exhibited in local galleries. He works almost exclusively in oils on canvass and has now extended his range of work to include still life, marine and portraiture. |
