Robert A. Draper, Sr (August 8,1933 – May 6, 2022)
While his day job was a Locomotive Engineer for the CSX Railroad, his passion was painting. Although self-taught, he received praise as a local artist from galleries in the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic.
He had a special way representing the mood of water, ponds, sunsets, lakes and the seas. And more than anything, he excelled in making his skies feel alive.
His subject matter was varied, but often included boats, sea gulls, and especially lighthouses.
Actively painted over a span of 60 years.
