SUMMER BREEZE BY SEALS AND CROFTS

Bob Kling has done it again! His beautiful painting, “A Pasture Landing” is a 36” x 24” acrylic on stretched canvas. A true ballooning moment, Bob’s inspiration for this gorgeous work of art came one day when…”Pilot Tim McConnell and I landed in pasture next to this balloon along with dozens of other balloons. This pilot was deflating and I snapped several photos because I thought the weeds and grasses against the backdrop of the balloon made a great painting.” -Bob Kling And there’s more…there is a strong possibility that “A Pasture Landing” will also be published in a book scheduled for April of 2018. Last year’s painting donated to the Classic will come out this April in the new book, “Acrylic Works 4,” published by North Light Books. Check out Bob Kling’s website to see some of his paintings in another art form, gorgeous women’s silk scarves and clothing by the Vida Company.
