Hobbs hoped to share his love of Canada and trains with everyone. He painted for the memories of the beautiful architecture of those beautiful train stations that once served as outposts for the traveler. A sign of Canadians triumphing over the prairies. Those beautiful skies and storms that only someone who knows what its like to live through a white out and to enjoy a beautiful lake in the summer. To capture the light of the prairie skies kept Hobbs painting.
Hobbs prints are loved by many!

Hi Dr. Hobbs,
It was a great pleasure working with you as we prepared the
print from your lovely painting, "The Peanut leaving Reston
Station". We have the painting hanging at our business,
Reston Drugs, and we see many people stop and admire it.
The prints were ready for Christmas, and sales were brisk!
We do have some prints left, so if anyone would like a copy,
please contact us at restondrugs@rfnow.com.
Best regards,
Nancy Schiltroth
