“I reflect upon the simple and profound truth that humanity and nature depend upon God for His/Her daily gifts of life, health, sunlight, air, water and rich soil. Though I am proud to have participated in over 200 public art exhibitions (including 40 juried exhibits) and having over 220 of my artworks in Australian, Indian, Italian, Swedish and American collections, I am happiest knowing that my artworks can help increase people’s appreciation of God’s daily presence.” Robert C. Schick

UPCOMING EVENTS:

January 30 – March 8, 2020
Los Altos History Museum exhibit “Gallery 9: 50 years”
The public reception is February 2 from 2-5 p.m.
51 S San Antonio Rd, Los Altos, CA 94022

I will have a drawing of mine included in the Los Altos History Museum exhibit “Gallery 9: 50 years“. My drawing depicts a Spanish Hacienda replica that used to stand at 29 Springer Road in Los Altos until its demolition in the early 2000’s. The title of my drawing is “Casa de las Tres Fresas” (House of the three strawberries) because there was a logo of 3 strawberries embossed on the diamond-shaped decorative wall tiles. This drawing has not been displayed publicly* because it was privately owned for nearly a decade since its creation. There are also two etchings from my personal art collection that will be included in the exhibit. “Wrong Wing” etching by Gallery 9 member Elaine Rothwell, and “Morning Visitor” etching by Gallery 9 member Vibeke Woodbury. The public reception is February 2 from 2-5 p.m.

*when the customer returned my drawing to me in 2009, I hung it in my “Our Valley’s Emotional Landscape” exhibit in Mountain View during the final four days.

A REVIEW by Mary Larsen on Robert Schick’s life and art is featured in the Los Altos Town Crier magazine ‘Living In’ Spring 2017. Photography by Megan V. Winslow.

Approximately 250 of Schick’s paintings are owned by people in seven different countries, and a number of them hang locally. Mountain View artist Robert C. Schick has spent much of the past two decades on a mission: to call attention to the beauty and historical value of the area, as well as to preserve it on canvas. Schick draws inspiration from the landmarks and pastoral scenes of the local area, many of which have vanished since he painted them. READ THE FULL STORY
