Robert Cox's paintings were primarily brightly coloured floral stills that were created using a palette knife. Every example of his paintings that I could find were of flowers in a vase. Apparently this was his favourite subject. Cox paid special attention to natural light and shadow, especially on the petals and leaves of his pieces.
