Like Cezanne, my paintings are based
on reality and connected to the earth. The "earth" in these paintings
is no more than fifty feet from the easel on which they are made.
It is my garden in which I have dug, planted, and discovered my
motifs. Though common in idea, I try for the uncommon... fully aware
of the historical continuum of painting itself. I feel both humbled
and empowered by endless possibility of what could come next.
Robert James Foose, April 2006
