ROBERT E. DRISCOLL

       ARTIST

    I HAVE SO MUCH TO THANK ROBERT DRISOLL FOR...HE WAS A 

     MENTOR AND FRIEND WHO ENCOURAGED ME TO PURSUE AN

     ARTISTIC CAREER. HE GENEROUSLY SHARED HIS SKILLS AND

     KNOWLEDGE AND WAS ALWAYS FUN AND INSPIRING TO BE

     AROUND. ALTHOUGH HE WAS RECOVERING FROM SERIOUS

     SURGERY WHEN WE MET, HIS CHARISMATIC SPIRIT ATTACTED

     ALL AGES. HIS STUDIO/GALLERY AT THE OSTERVILLE HARBOR

     REFLECTED HIS WHIMSICAL NATURE. WHEN I FIRST VISITED

     THERE, HE SHOWED ME A NEWSPAPER ARTICLE WRITTEN

     ABOUT HIM, IN WHICH HE STATED THAT HE WANTED TO BRING

     "HAPPINESS TO THE WORLD THROUGH HIS PAINTINGS". I KNOW

      THAT HE ACHIEVED THIS IN HIS ART, WHICH TRULY EXPRESSED

      THE PERSON HE WAS--PLAYFUL AND HAPPY TO BE ALIVE,

      CAPTURING THE BEAUTY HE SAW IN NATURE, THROUGH HIS

      FLORAL AND MARINE WORKS...HE WAS A TRULY UNIQUE

      INDIVIDUAL.
