'Artist over 60' Robert Guthrie passes away


I was sad to learn this morning that Robert Guthrie, one of the 21 artists over 60 featured in our March issue, passed away July 3 at the age of 72. He was an incredibly talented colored pencil artist who overcame cataracts to continue making art. He had this to say in our March issue:
"In art there doesn't seem to be any hard and fast rule that can't be broken. Every time I think I've learned one, someone comes along and breaks it, and it works!"

Above, Homage to Hopper by Robert Guthrie (colored pencil, 19x31).
