R. John (Bob) Ichter is best known for his brilliantly colored, stylized landscapes in pastel. His color saturated landscapes convey his passion for the beauty of nature. He includes elements in his paintings from different regions of the United States and the world that he has experienced in his travels. All of these things are transformed by his imagination into works that have striking visual impact yet remain peaceful. Ichter creates a lush, vibrant, and idyllic natural world by blending intense competing colors into a harmonious co-existence. Each piece is designed to evoke a certain time of day and to transport the viewer to another place. His work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections.
