I Know You By Heart

Bob’s nostalgic artworks are popular with our collectors around the world, thanks to their timeless charm. Using a muted colour palette that draws attention to the unfolding narrative, the Yorkshire-based painter adds layers of glaze in a style influenced by the Old Masters of the Renaissance.  

This piece features his signature red heart umbrellas, which represent a feeling of togetherness. The touching motif began after Bob started doodling umbrellas and noticed a heart shape taking form.  

Bob says: “A soft vignette effect and the sweep of the setting sun draws the viewer to the focal point of the piece where the shadows lengthen and meet, showing that ‘I know you by heart’.”
