Robert Summers Biography:
An oil painter of the contemporary West, Robert Summers was born in Glen Rose, Texas, where he still lives. "I paint the people and things I know,' he observes, "I find it hard to paint anything unless it relates to my own experience. Occasionally I'll read some historical story and try to recreate that moment, but I have to be careful to make the costumes and weapons correct. Cattle ranching may be a vanishing way of life, but the basic principles are still much the same as they were a hundred years ago.'
