 Featured Artist: Bob
Askew
Bob Askew paints landscapes in oil
and watercolor. He has lived in Sewanee,
Tennessee, since 1999. His original watercolor
for Trails & Trilliums will be available as
both a poster and in notecard form. Bob will
present a workshop on painting in nature on
Saturday, and his work will be available for
viewing and purchase during Trails &
Trilliums.
 Bob grew up in
Fayetteville and graduated from the University of
Alabama in Huntsville. Before choosing painting
as a full time career, Bob worked for the
Memphis-based Nashville Bank of Commerce and the
University of the South as the Associate Director
of Career Services.
Throughout these years in the
corporate world, painting was a constant part of
his life. Painting as a full time career became a
reality in 2007. He now produces original artwork
for shows and for clients by commission. In
addition, his growing notecard and print business
features reproductions of watercolor paintings.
Bob has a studio behind his Sewanee home, but
paints primarily on location. His style captures
the local landscapes and architecture in the
moment, and his Sewanee scenes are especially
popular. Inspired by early 20th century American
painters such as Charles Hawthorne and Winslow
Homer, Bob’s paintings reflect a wonderful
combination of the use of light and color.
