"I just wanted to let you know how much our firm enjoys your art. We have both paintings in our primary conference room. It's our "Schott Gallery". Everyone, including our clients, very much enjoys and appreciates your work."

For over twenty-five years I have built a body of work based on the natural beauty of Florida. My primary subject matter centers on the large wading birds and their natural habitat which grace the State. The White Egret, Great Blue Heron, Roseate Spoonbill, Ibis, Flamingo, Pelican, Osprey and large landscape vistas of the Everglades have provid me with an endless source of creative inspiration. I also paint the colorful fish and coral reefs of the Florida Keys.

"....thank you, thank you for the wonderful painting of the Sandhill cranes. Paul and I are both so excited to finally have one after all these years of searching. We are thrilled with the painting and so impressed with your work. It is absolutely wonderful. I just wish you could be around to hear all the compliments and what people have to say about it." Paul & Peggy Murphy

I became fasinated by the White Egret, Great Blue Heron, Ibis, Pelican and the other wading birds from hours and hours of watching them while I fished the grass flats around Tampa Bay.

The egrets and herons are great to watch as they move along the mangrove islands. Roseate spoonbills are scarce around Tampa Bay but if you look for them they are there sharing the environment right along with the egrets, herons, pelicans and ibis.

"We have placed Robert Schott's work in many of our corporate projects. His artwork is a consistent favorite with our clients."

There are paintings on this site from over two decades of my artwork. I love painting the large wading birds but I also paint the colorful tropical fish of the Florida keys and a range of parrots from all over the world.

Also included are some pictures of special projects that I have painted over the years. These range from vintage motorcycles to airplanes to buildings to turn of century train stations.

"We love our painting. The beautiful colors plus the deep sense of serenity the painting gives to us has enriched our home."

I know how lucky I am to have this career and I am deeply thankful for it.There is nothing else I would rather being doing than painting everyday. It seems to me there are an endless amount of ideas to put down on canvas as I see painting after painting in my mind. I know I will never have time to paint them all but it will be fun trying.
