Sun Flower Friends

I painted the sun flower as if it was a meeting place for the birds to rest, eat and talk.  This is a sunflower and bird lover’s favorite.   I hope you enjoy it too!

I am posting this on February 21, 2010.  Here in Beavercreek Ohio there is still snow on the ground, but we’ve had a warmer day today in the 30′s (farenheit).

Spring is coming soon!  and it will be time to plant the sunflowers!

Blue Daisies

I just love the colors of these blue daisies.

Can you see the shadow of my light reflector from my camera?

I made my own unique light reflector for my camera that really helps capture light and colors.  I’ve been using it for years even before I had got my digital camera.  People were surprised to find out that I could take great photos with a throw-away camera.

Everyday I wake up it is like a miracle and the day is new and I get to see so many things I never saw before.   I hope  your day is a great one, too!

Autumn Oasis

A rich, colorful painting!

The colors are so bright, yet soft. What a paradise we live in with such radiant and beautiful colors.  I hope this painting helps you see the beauty that surrounds us.

Everyday I wake up and see that I have another day here in paradise on earth.

I once heard that “too many people worry about the next life they forget to enjoy this one . . . what a shame.”

Remember!   Go out and see and enjoy the beauty of this life!

Safe Harbor Lighthouse

A bright, colorful scene of water and lighthouse.  The  lone sailor is soon to bank on the beach of this island harbor.

I originally painted “Safe Harbor Lighthouse” in 2006 for a women’s crises center in Dayton Ohio.  I was one of the artists invited to attend a festival to raise awareness and funds for the center.

I envisioned a lady in a boat as she sailed to the light house.  For her, the island is her “safe harbor.”

May this scene bring you comfort and cheer in a time of need and brighten your day!

Midnight Beach

Like many of the wet on wet oils, this one is very rich in color.

Imagine the sound of the water splashing on the beach and crashing against the rock as the sun goes down late at night.

Make good memories!  ~ Tom

If you’d like an original of a scene that you have taken a photo of, let’s talk.  I’d love to do a commission for you or a special gift.  I usually include a handful of prints as well to pass out to others who are part of the occasion.

Check out Tom’s Art Schoolhouse, too!

I can teach you how to paint–just like this!

Water Color Flowers One

Water colors can be so much fun.

I lot of people think they can’t do water colors.  But, many learn it is fun and even beautiful when they learn the right way to do it.

One thing you can do to get comfortable with using this paint type is to put  several colors on the paper and tilt the paper different directions.  Watch what happens as the different colors mix.   You can try with different amounts of water and see how it affects the paint.  Then, use the brush to try different strokes and techniques.  This will help you learn what consistency of paint and water and techniques work best for you to achieve various outcomes.

I often say “Every day is a holiday . . . .”  What I mean by this is make the most of your day as if every day is special . . .  because it is!

Before the Storm

A wet-on-wet oil painting.

I feel the energy from the ocean waves and clouds and the palm trees blowing.

I hope your day is going well.

Take time to read a good book or go for a bike ride.

Daffodil Duo

What is better than one daffodil?  Two daffodils

Can you imagine a whole field of daffodils.  I forget where I read this a few years ago, but there is a place where a whole hillside of daffodils was planted.

May your day be as bright as these!
