[2][3][4] Hagan's approach to painting is to translate scenes of everyday life into romantic, nostalgic and blissfully peaceful visions of the world.

[5] His subjects include the figure in a moment of reflection, animals, children fishing on the beach with their father, sailboats, rainforest birds, cowboys[6] on horseback rounding up cattle or hunched over a campfire after a hard day's droving and dusty outback scenes of Australia.

[7] Although self-taught,[1] Hagan's style is impressionist using a limited palette of oil to impart a sense of tranquility and play on light to make the painting come alive.

Robert Hagan was the originator/ Executive Producer[11] and host of this 10 part travel/painting series that was licensed in 2010 to Discovery HD and shown internationally in several languages.
