Influenced by #JeanGiraud, #VanGogh, and #Gauguin, I explore bold colors and expressive strokes. Van Gogh’s cherry blossoms struck me, but my connection is personal—I worked in orchards while in art school. This 36x48-inch oil painting pays tribute to those artists while reflecting my own journey.

A vibrant oil painting of cherry blossoms in full bloom, viewed from below. The branches stretch upward, adorned with pink and white flowers against a swirling blue and purple sky. Thick, expressive brushstrokes and bold colors give the piece a dynamic, Fauvist-inspired energy.

Begin the week with calm intent. Breathe deeply, and let your mind be still. Remember — the world will move as it always has, with its noise, its tempests, its fleeting troubles. You are not obliged to react to any of it. Hold fast to your reason, and let your peace be your response. (My #art)

An ink and watercolor illustration of Bigfoot sitting cross-legged in a forest clearing, meditating peacefully. Sunlight radiates from behind his head, giving a halo-like glow as dragonflies hover in the warm air. Around him, wildflowers such as coneflowers, black-eyed Susans, and blue blossoms bloom vibrantly. The image is framed with a colorful geometric border featuring spirals, triangles, and flowers in orange, yellow, purple, and red, enhancing the spiritual and playful mood of the piece.

I'll be headed north in a few days for the #Charlevoix Apple Festival #artshow. I'll be showing my impressionistic oil paintings. However I do work in other mediums like this painting here which is made with acrylic on an 8x8 wood panel. #Acrylicpainting #painting #Michigan #art #artist

A vibrant acrylic painting of Susan Lake in northern Michigan, rendered on an 8x8 wood panel. The artwork captures a dramatic sunset sky filled with glowing orange and violet storm clouds reflecting over calm water dotted with lily pads and bordered by pine trees and wildflowers.

Got a bit of an ego boost last night when an advertisement for the Bay Harbor Arts Festival 2026 popped up in my social media feed. Yep! Those are my paintings being used to promote the show for next year. #Artist #oilpainting #Michigan #artshow #art #BayHarborMichigan

Thanks! This is actually inspired by a neighborhood cat I see most mornings on my walk.

Roman The Painter @romanthepainter.com · Sep 9

I thought I'd do another black cat in the garden oil painting. This one's smaller at 9 by 12 in. This will be available at the 46th annual Charlevoix Apple Festival October 10-12, 2025. #Art #artist #oilpainting #cat #Michigan #artshow #painting #blackcat

Here's one of my recent 16x20 oil paintings. With a little luck this will be dry in time for the #Charlevoix Apple Festival. If not it will be at the #Bentonville Fine #ArtFestival November 8th - November 9th 10:00am-4:00pm. #Artist #oilpainting #impressionism #wildflowers #painting

A vibrant 16x20 oil painting in an ornate gold frame depicts a colorful forest scene with birch trees and a profusion of wildflowers. The palette is bold, featuring purples, pinks, and oranges. Bright orange and yellow flowers fill the foreground, while tall birch trees frame a glowing sunset sky with streaks of blue, pink, and gold in the background.

A super colorful 5x7 oil painting from the studio. I was going to do a larger one at the end of the day but I was being lazy and didn't feel like fixing extra paint. #Art #artist #oilpainting #painting

I’m excited to announce that I’ve booked a three-day show at the Apple Festival in Charlevoix, Michigan. While preparing for this event, I’ll also be creating work for an upcoming show in Texas. I look forward to seeing you in Northern Michigan this October. #AppleFestival #CharlevoixMichigan #art

Text at the bottom reads, "Hope to see you there!"
