Robert C. Moore, b. 1957, Idaho, (United States)
Robert Moore possesses sincerity and courtesy that reflects his Idaho farm upbringing. Raised near the Snake River where his appreciation for nature was sparked. A contemplative, quiet individual, Robert discovered art as a way to freely express his feelings.
Moore prefers painting 'en plein aire' to best express his immediate impression of each subject. Plein aire painting allows him to capture the light and color effects of creation's order. He frequently uses vivid colors and high-keyed values that reveal a spiritually inspired joy. Moore's paintings have a characteristic mood and energy about them that invite the viewer to experience the beauty he sees in nature. Several Trips abroad, including China, Canada, and the Tuscan countryside, have also inspired many canvases. In recent years, Moore has become a highly sought-after instructor and he teaches multiple workshops a year
Robert Moore makes his home on a farm in the heart of the Snake River Basin in Southern Idaho with his wife, Rebecca, and their six children.

Robert Moore is an impressionistic oil painter. Tall and soft-spoken, he is described as sincere and courteous, reflecting his Idaho farm upbringing. Moore was born in Burley, Idaho in 1957 and raised near the Snake River. There, amidst the wide open plains bounded by rugged mountains, his appreciation for nature was sparked. A contemplative, quiet individual, Robert, with practical background and belief in discipline, discovered art as a way to freely express his feelings.
Robert prefers painting en plein aire to best express his immediate impression of each subject. The bulk of Robert's painting is done on location from his mobile four-wheeler easel or off the back of his pick-up truck.
Plein aire painting allows him to capture the light and color effects of creation's order. He frequently uses vivid colors and high-keyed values that reveal a spiritually inspired joy, and for some viewers a characteristic mood and energy about them that invite the viewer to experience the beauty he sees in nature.
Robert Moore makes his home on a farm in the heart of the Snake River Basin in Southern Idaho with his wife, Rebecca, and their six children.
