About
A brief history of Doane
I started drawing and painting when I
was a child and apparently never out
grew it. I was an art major in college,
but am largely self taught. My career
has been in architectural illustration
and design, home design/ building
and remodeling and my passion, fine
arts. That interest has held over all of
these years and I love the artistic
process, whether in painting, drawing, or creating in other media
forms.
I have been represented by galleries in California, Oregon,
Washington, Texas, Arkansas, and Mexico.
Some of the oritginal pieces are available in the Galleries pages
and I also have available high quality Giclee reproductions of many
of the pieces. If you see something else you are interested in
please contact me.
I come from a creative family. My Mother, Betty Hoag McGlynn
was a respected early California art historian here in Carmel, and
her Mother, Elizabeth Lochrie was an important historical painter
of American Indians who lived in Montana. My Father, Paul Sterling
Hoag was a prominent architect in Los Angeles, his brother and my
Uncle, Doane Rusk Hoag, was a screen writer in Hollywood in the
1950’s and their father, Percival Doane Hoag was a pulp fiction
writer. Incidentally, my full name is Robert Doane Hoag, “Doane” is
Scottish and has been in our family for generations.
