About the Artist
His familiar signature has been seen throughout the United States on hundreds of public portraits of congressmen and
businessmen, and private paintings for individuals and families.
Raised in Evanston, Illinois, Bob Bentley spent his summer months on the water, in the cedar woods, and among the
cherry orchards around Ephraim and Sister Bay in Door County, Wisconsin.
After several decades away from Door County, Bob returned, settled in Ellison Bay near Gills Rock with his wife,
Barbara, and their Labrador, and began to paint the landscapes he knew as a youth.
A Yale honors major and student at the Art institute of Chicago, Bob is known for his boldness with oil paint. While portraits
have long been Bob's life as an artist, he has progressed from portraiture to (and including) landscapes. Some of his most
special paintings are "portscapes," which allow the subject to be portrayed in a casual, informal setting.
