Bob McCormick (born. 1952 in Ashland, PA) began painting on his 50th birthday, while enrolled in an evening class at the Schuylkill County Vo-Tech. Primarily a landscape painter, he worked in watercolor for the first fifteen years. In recent years, he’s been discovering the power of pigments, using acrylics and oils.

At age 70, Bob continues to use paint to reflect what he’s witnessed throughout his Baby-Boomer lifetime: from childhood memories of his family’s life in Big Mine Run (an anthracite coal ‘Patchtown’), to scenes that surround him out on the farmland where he now resides, to imagined vistas that reflect his understanding of the social and cultural evolution we are currently experiencing. Such art will hang on the walls of Cabin Contemporary this May.
