Rowbury specializes in both western art and seascapes, a product of the time when he lived in Wyoming in the summer and spent winters on the coast. A third generation artist, Rowbury classifies himself as “a romantic realist", and that, "I paint not photographic, but the way I like to see things.” Rowbury feels the toughest part of any painting is knowing when to stop, when a work has reached its ultimate. “I am of the belief that there's no such thing as too much detail if it's done properly, ‘ Rowbury asserted. He never finds difficulty working in front of spectators, However, Rowbury utilizes transcendental meditation to obtain the proper state of mind. “Creativity comes from the subconscious mind. You must get into that state of mind so it (creativity) can flow without interference. TM helps my concentration,” he explained. His pieces evoke images of familiar fields and meadows. His landscapes have won numerous awards. But that’s not an accolade that’s reserved for Rowbury. He said he feels like the family’s been fortunate because each of them has won numerous awards at shows and invitationals. Lamar now lives in Santa Maria California, but still travels to locations like Carmel, California to gather inspiration for new works. Lamar his wife Beverly Hoebel, and their son Robert Hoebel often feature their art and demonstrate their individual techniques. Beverly brings the personality out in animals in her paintings, created on eagle feathers that show pumas, wolves, and eagles. Son Robert favors the wild kingdom, too, but specializes in an airbrush technique. His work takes on a dramatic feel with vivid colors and an almost three-dimensional quality. With no formal artistic training, art has always come naturally to him—not surprising, considering the talent that surrounded him. “Growing up in an artistic family was chaotic at times, but a lot of fun,” he said. Rowbury grew up in an artistic family himself. His father and brother were professional artists, so he knows the mixed feelings it can bring “I think it’s wonderful. Sometimes it’s fantastic. You always have a critique one minute away when you’re painting—and sometimes it’s not always a favorable one,” Rowbury said.
