Abstract Contemporary Paintings and Drawings of Bob Heatly, American artist  and award winning design educator from his studio and home in Provence, France.

"Your paintings look like esoteric maps... I mean, sometimes You come to a kitchen and look for a spoon  for example on a table.., but can not find anything.. Then you come back and see that this spoon always was there. Many ways, many realities."

"Your series on the Assisi stairs was the abstract quality in your painting that I find enduring. It alludes to other things, as in a Vermeer, without saying more. The viewer reacts, engages, and has to ponder some greater seduction."

"I have never really appreciated Abstract Art before, but your work is incredible."

"I have just spent the last 30 minutes going through your site and looking at your painting images. There is a fascination about them that is not evident elsewhere. It has been a pleasure looking and examining and trying to analyze them. It appears that you may be close to finding the solution that so many painters are having difficulty with all the time."
