Moody Beach -- Ogunquit, Maine (Beachscape) Mixed Media
Moody Beach in Ogunquit, Maine --- it was indeed moody as the next summer storm was brewing! This is a limited edition museum quality reproduction (giclée) of my original mixed media painting (watercolor and colored pencil). It is printed on 100% rag paper. Each print is signed and numbered, with a Certificate of Authenticity and care instructions provided. Image is 8" x 14". Finished double matted size is 14" x 20 ". The conservation quality mats are Nielsen Bainbridge "Antique Sienna" (outside) and Artique "Cornsilk" (inside). "Antique Sienna" is a mottled mix of rusts and browns with a subtle gold metallic presence throughout. "Cornsilk" is a very pale "almost" yellow mat with a slight linen texture. The window of the outside mat is cut so that it reveals a 5/16" border of the inner "Cornsilk" mat within its inside perimeter. The print is secured to the mat board using conservation methods & materials. It is backed with an acid free foam core mount and is slipped into a self-sealing crystal clear bag/sleeve. "Moody Beach" is also available as note cards. Please inquire or contact me if you are interested and you don't see them listed here in my shop. This image is copyrighted by Dru Marie Robert.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME. Ever since I watched my 5 year old brother captivate others with his whimsical, engaging clown drawings, I have been intrigued by the power of image making. It was fascinating to me (a year older) to witness his innate confidence and the sheer delight he experienced when he was creating, -- as well as seeing what he would come up with!
When I picked up my own crayons, I soon discovered an alternate world that one can disappear into when one is putting pencil, crayon, or paint to a blank support with the purpose of creating. This activity, for me, in combination with many road trips traveling and moving as a youngster became not only a ticket into an exploration of creative possibilities but it also provided a means for me to detach so that I could observe and sort out my small life's events while also taking note of and soaking up the world's wonder with my sponge mind.
As an admirer and painter of the landscape and figures, I often say that I am in the business of extending one's memories and special experiences. I render the sites of one's vacations and favorite locations as well as portraits of loved ones, human and animal.
WHAT I OFFER. I am a studio and plein air painter, proficient in oils, acrylic, my own style of mixed media (watercolor and colored pencil), and drawing media. I create originals and sell professionally created museum quality reproductions of my work on paper and canvas. I also create custom, oversize prints of my works on canvas for customers that I embellish personally (in effect, creating a new original that can be quite affordable for the size).
HOW I SERVE. I have worked with the public for many years and am particularly happy when I can listen, hear beyond the words, and deliver exactly, -- or above and beyond, what a customer is looking for. Finding ways to best deliver and please those with whom I collaborate is a huge pleasure for me.
The personal touch is integral to my offerings. Whether my art is created specifically for a customer or not, I interview the client about the space/environment of the new work's prospective home to pick up on the client's preferences and style (and especially if I am involved in the framing process). I often personally hang my completed works of art in my clients' homes.
