Glenstone Galleries and Gifts is proud to offer the art of Robert A. Tino.

For nearly twenty years, Robert A. Tino has interpreted the landscape of the Great Smoky Mountains with an eye, palette and brush stroke that meshed realism with impressionism. His signature meshing of transparent watercolors and gouache (pronounced "gwash" - a little used opaque technique) evoke the countless moods of this mountain eden.

In the late 1990's, Robert integrated oils into his portfolio because of the immediate accessibility of blending that allows him to achieve a different kind of softness. Whether the medium is watercolor or oil, Robert preserves his personal experience of the mountains with each scene in remarkable detail, while exploring his characteristic affinity for flourishes of color, depth and texture.
