Bob Snider

Bob was an art and business major at Ouachita Baptist University and, following his MBA at the University of Arkansas, had a thirty-year career as an investment banker. In his first job as Press Assistant to Senator John L McClellan, and throughout his career in banking, Bob always found a way to use his artistic talents. In 1995, he took a beginning water media class at the Arkansas Arts Center and had early success as a watercolorist. He is a signature member of the Mid-Southern Watercolorists and served as its President. In 2005, he chaired a biblically-themed arts festival for Fellowship Bible Church in Little Rock and served as the consultant to churches in Dallas, Nashville, Milwaukee, and other cities in a ministry entitled "Art By Faith".

Bob found that the principles he learned in a watercolor class set him up nicely to become an oil painter. "The use of oils, especially for horse racing scenes, can produce bigger, more vibrant and exciting works full of texture and excitement", said Bob in a recent article. His horse racing paintings can be found in galleries from Palm Springs, CA, to Vail, CO, and Seaside, FL. You can see his demos in oil and watercolor on his website, "BobSniderFineArts.com"
