Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor
DECEMBER 2022
Arkansas City resident named masterpiecelevel winner in Art is Ageless® program Robert Armstrong was recently named a masterpiece-level winner in PMMA’s Art is Ageless juried art program for his drawing, “Country Santa.”
During the month of October, Arkansas City Presbyterian Manor hosted two Just Ask events as part of our ongoing education series covering topics of interest to seniors, their loved ones, caregivers and others in the community.
A relatively new member of the Arkansas City community, Robert only recently became aware of the competition and initially only viewed it as an opportunity to get acquainted with other artists in the area. “I didn’t know anything about it, but after hearing about it I entered a few pieces as a way to get to know people around here,” said Robert.

Much to his surprise, he came away with more than just a few new friends.

“When I heard I won, I thought, ‘Man, they must not have too many people who entered’… I was shocked,” said Robert. Robert began drawing when he was about 13 and is proud to say that he is completely selftaught. “I’ve had very little formal training,” said Robert. “I guess I’ve just been fortunate enough to pick it up.” “Country Santa” created by Robert Armstrong was a masterpiece-level winner in the Art is Ageless program.
“Country Santa,” like most of Robert’s work, is a portrait done entirely in pastel chalk.
