Robert's painting "At Rest" has the honor to be included in the 2010 Art and the Animal, the Society of Animal Artists' 50th Annual Exhibition, to be held at the San Diego Natural History Museum from September 4 through October 31, 2010, in San Diego, California.

 
"At Rest," a 40- by 32-inch oil painting, captures an unlikely perch for a sleeping mourning dove at Aldie Mill, a historic working gristmill located outside of Washington, D.C. "Normally, the mill is filled with the sound of water cascading over the wheel," Robert says. "On this day, the mill was at rest and offered the mourning dove a chance to do the same. Though the scene may appear static, the repetition of the waterwheel's spokes and bolts creates a perceived sense of action and movement that balances the sleeping dove."

"At Rest" also had the prestigious honor of exhibiting in the 2007 Birds in Art at the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum.
