Some even came from <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=den+ham,+ov&ie=UTF8&ll=52.467608,6.490967&spn=0.00092,0.002146&t=h&z=19">DenHam, OV, The Netherlands</a>, where my mom lived prior to 1953. The house she lived in is linked with a photo map. Way back the home built right next to the street was also connected to the barn. Once when I visited in the early 1970's a pregnant cow was in a stall right next to the bathroom. I watched her give birth while I was there and the calf take its first steps. It seems long ago.<br /><br />My wife, son and I spent a night at Niagara Falls on the way home. I have a lot of photos to reference and may do some paintings from them. Not of the falls so much, but architectural shots showing the hustle and bustle of the tourist areas.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><!-- Search Google -->

Well he modeled for us on a Monday night and as you can see, he works out at the gym. I did 25 years ago and now have begun again on his inspiration.<br /><br />I thought, "Am I a mouse or a man." So now I have been working out again since October. Slow but steady progress. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" width="15" height="15" /> Feels good. A little less fat and a little more muscle and general feeling of well being. Wish me luck in continuing.<br /><br />This little painting measures 8 1/8" x 10 3/8" and can easily be cropped to 8 x 10 for a standard frame.

Likewise, the life blood of the city are the individuals who inhabit it and are the city's motive force.

His excellent technical skills are coupled with wonderful insight and value.<br /><br />"Robert Tracy is a self-taught romantic-realist artist. At the time he began his art career, non-objective art held a near monopoly to the claim of serious art. The art schools were among the staunchest supporters of that monopoly. The choice was to get on board or go your own way. Robert Tracy went his own way. What is that world? For the most part, it is a world of peace and absorption...Though there can be drama, there is little conflict and usually no social interaction." ―Robert Knapp, Ph.D.</span> </span> </p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size:100%;">"Robert Tracy's work is clear and straight forward, beautiful colors, and precise drawing. They are paintings with a positive sense of life that are wonderful to look at. Tracy's subjects are not heroic; but rather, ordinary subjects made important by his total concentration and love of each particular work. His imagination creates a simple subject, painting it to a level of nobility containing great emotional power."<br />―Marvin Steel</span></span></span></p> <p style="font-style: normal; font-weight: bold;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="font-family:Georgia,serif;"><span style="font-size:100%;">"Robert Tracy's art must be studied with an eye and mind that is not only critical but also open to new ways of conveying emotions and messages. Meticulously rendered, his work is near perfection in form and substance. And I dare anyone to show me better accuracy than what he offers in pencil. Robert's work is a joy to look at, again, and again. His work will keep his name alive for ages."<br />―Ben Reed<br />Author of "My Dying Breath"</span></span></span></p> <span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">Some links to his work: </span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://hank1.deviantart.com/" target="_blank">About 500 works by Robert Tracy</a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Some work for sale:<br /></span><a style="font-family: georgia;" href="http://stores.ebay.com/The-Art-of-Robert-Tracy_W0QQcolZ4QQdirZ1QQfsubZQ2d33QQftidZ2QQtZkm" target="_blank">EBAY Store</a><br /><a href="http://www.cordair.com/tracy/">Quent Cordair Gallery</a><br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> <span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/146362/?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=banner&utm_content=140x240"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC2yS7eUZmWDIHrT-rLPMF7X6XNDVwqcuk1kjfplNVNxeKRgR0yXG0LJeKZ5VkoSdjqS7wFVjNDgdseXdmyiSdKA-6VMtA4sy4KLmfKHKxlLDzCULo2soaKHL4zZtF9Ww2lb7t/s200/RTracy_book.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178164785829772994" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:georgia;">"...Tracy’s art is not fashionable.
