About the Artist
Bob Barnes was born on Virginia's Eastern Shore in 1937. Barnes'
childhood experiences drawing ships and planes used in
the Second World War fostered his skills
as an artist and his intense desire to inject realism into his
work. A graduate of Hargrave Military Academy, he served in the
U. S. Air Force from 1957 to 1962. There he developed a passion
for deep-sea diving that would lead to a career lasting 25 years.
He finds it satisfying that after a life following his great loves of diving, painting and flying, he can point to a log of more than 4,500 command flying hours in 50 different aircraft (including high performance World War II machines), more than 15,000 hours in commercial dives, and over 1,200 works of art in watercolor. Twenty-three of these works have been published in limited prints.
"I never had a large bank account and there are times when I have not known where the next meal was coming from but I have never been bored. I have always enjoyed what I am doing and have always looked forward to Monday mornings."

Internet Prices & Availability
Because the art market is constantly in a state
of instability, with new releases coming out and other ones selling out,
We will try to this site as up to date as possible on price changes
and when art sells out. Prices and availability of artwork do change overnight
sometimes and very unexpectedly, so there is no way to guarantee that the piece
you ordered on our web site is available. We will always contact you and refund
you immediately if there is a problem. There is a 20% Restocking Fee.
