Robert Flanary

A native of Spokane currently residing in Chehalis, Washington, Robert Flanary has spent the last five decades drawing, painting, and etching, inspired by the Washington, Coastal Oregon, and Northern California landscapes. His exploration into tonalist plein air painting began years ago with morning expeditions along the banks of the Little Spokane River near his hometown.

Robert’s most recent paintings are inventions derived from both observation and reflection. Conceived to rest quietly on the wall in peace and harmony within the frame and the architectural space and changing light, the painting, through means of composition, engages viewers to discover its meaning through their own thoughts and feelings.

The Gallery has featured Robert’s work several times, beginning with the February, 2015 show, A Continuous Harmony: New tonalist paintings by Robert Flanary and Paul Roehl, and, in February and March, 2023, a one-man show, Robert Flanary: Seeing All Together.
