Robert Mustard
As far back as I can remember making art was part of my life. Inspired and guided by my grandma who was a graphic designer and my older cousin who is naturally talented at drawing. I enjoyed and took seriously every art class from K-8th grade. In high school I took every art class that was available. After some time away from it. I then went to college for drawing, painting, and art history. I began college drawing and when introduced to oil painting immediately decided this would be my main focus. Mostly making drawings and paintings in realism. Upon graduation with a B.S.A with emphasis on drawing and oil painting. I started to become drawn to abstraction. Currently my works are abstract and are about biblical truths. Using value, color, color theory, brushes and gravity to paint the image and communicate with (still in the process of building the foundation of this). This way of painting started in 2018 when I was trying to utilize drips in my paintings. However the result ended in a failure. Noticing that by controlling the direction of the drips an entire surface of a painting can be made. Upon completion of my first painting it came to my remembrance that it appeared close to a dream I had with God having a conversation with me. I had it around the end Nov./ beginning of Dec. of 2016. Inspired by the vision I began to develop a look for my paintings. Then another year was spent refining that style. The next year was spent on perfecting this technique. Finally Decided that it was time to paint the paintings you see now. All my paintings are built by me from the cradled wood panel, all the prepping to receive oil paint, mixing single pigment oil paints to make colors and values, and the specific formula of the mixture I created to achieve the desired results of a painting. Some time after I became a born again Holy Spirit filled Christian I realized that I was being guided to paint this way. Even in my unbelief Jesus was guiding me to him. I began listening to a Pastor that was a prophet who Abba (the father, God spoke through). Many times I seen what he spoke from God in advance come to pass in the natural. I knew then that God was really alive and the bible was all the truth. So remembering a prayer I said to Jesus as a child I knew it was time for me to get Baptized and become a member of a church. I of course chose the one I was listening to for 2 years as I knew the Pastor spoke the truth of God.

Handling some business
Working on business documents, archival photos printed for my records, researching subject matter, material experimentation, changing my color palette, and finding out how much adding frames to my oil paintings that I will put together will cost. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay blessed by the One and Only Most High Living God!
Have been doing some Bible study...
In preparation for my next series of paintings. Marking sure the new oil mediums will work has been put on hold. I will start that as soon as I finish my Bible study and get some business related things done. Thank you for your patience. It will be some time before I will have new paintings available. May God smile abundantly on you!
Building and Prep finished.
Since I am changing mediums I will have to make sure they will work int the way I want them to. So I will have to experiment for a bit before painting again. Thank you for your patience and God Bless!
I will also make commissioned pieces.
If you're interested in a commissioning an painting feel free to contact me.
Have to build and prep
I am now building and prepping cradled wood panels. This will take some time. They are to finish the Warm/ Cool Hue Accented Achromatic Abstract series. As well as for my Flowing with the Holy Spirit monochromatically series. It will be awhile before I am able to start a painting. Thank you and God bless you for your patience. I will inform you here when my fist painting is underway.
By April 3 or 4 I will have more artworks up along with prices!
I am just finishing up some things and will have all my artworks with prices up by April 3 or 4! At this time I will be completely ready to sell my art! Thank you for your patience with me and God bless!
Just waiting on valuation.
I have almost everything ready to go. The only thing I am waiting on is my artist certification. Then I will be ready to price my works and sell. Thank you so much for your patience with me. May God bless you! I will be adding more works in April.
I will be ready to sell shortly!
In the first week or second week of next month I should be ready to sell!
I will be selling the artworks posted plus more to come!
I just have to wait to get a few more things found out and done to sell artwork legally and collect taxes! I have the tax situation solved. Now just waiting on where I'll get my shipping materials from to get back with me. Since I haven't sold any in this style before they will need to get appraised. So it will be a maybe around 3 weeks give or take before I can officially sell here. Sorry for any inconvenience. I am working very hard on starting up. Just remember good things come to those who wait. Thank you and God bless you for your patience with me!
