Welcome!

I'm Robert Mehling, an artist from the east end of Long Island. I live about four miles inland from the beach pictured above. The top was painted about for years ago facing west, and the bottom was this year facing east. What you see on the left is the remnants of a beached ship.

Mostly known as a still-life painter, I also do landscapes to get out of the studio from time to time. I paint representations of  things and scenes that only indirectly reference people. I try to capture in paint the unique and autonomous personalities of what I depict. My art, being a combination of tradition and progression, may be more hybrid than classical realist. See what you think. You can find examples by clicking the links on the navigation bar above left (below the "Glass of Blush" thumbnail).

"Blue Bulb"

I spend a lot of time looking at things. If you look at familiar things and surroundings for a long time, they begin to appear curiously strange and unfamiliar. You just see forms and shapes. It's the same thing that happens if you repeat a familiar word over and over - you forget what it means and only hear its sound.
