A Portrait Show

Tom — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 15:21:33 +0000

This is one of the portraits Tom painted for his “Northville Who’s Who?” Portrait Show in Northville, Michigan in 2007 at the Sherrus Gallery. He took pictures of well-known individuals in the community, not telling them that they would become portrait subjects in an art gallery show. Imagine their surprise as they walked into Sherrus Gallery, after a special invitation to attend, and found their portraits on the wall! – SF

Gold N Treasures

Tom — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 02:09:43 +0000

This is another painting featured in my one-man show in Madison, Indiana. It is a scene on the main street in town. I was trying to portray what a sunny summer day looks like. To add interest I have a tree in the foreground with sunlight shining through it’s leaves.

The cars and trucks drive by. Notice how simply I have painted them. I leave a lot to the viewer’s imagination, but your mind fills in the blanks. I’ve got reflections of the sky in the building windows. Little spots of colors are placed carefully to portray the driver of the truck, the person walking down the street, and an individual leaning against a doorway. Also notice the highlights on the tops of the cars which is done with white paint.

The Milton-Madison Bridge

Tom — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 21:49:09 +0000

This painting is part of my one-man show to be held in Madison, Indiana. I will be at a reception there from 2-4 pm on Saturday, February 13th at Joeyg’s, 218 E. Main Street, Madison, IN.

The painting is of the bridge that goes over the Ohio River from Milton, Kentucky to Madison, Indiana. It is an important painting because the historic bridge will be torn down in the near future and I want people to remember it.

The painting shows the bridge across the top with the city of Madison below. The hills in back of the city are in shadow which is portrayed in blue. Madison itself is the focus, especially with the white steeples reaching upwards. Note the reflections of them painted into the water below. Also note that the river reflects the blue sky and the bridge. I’m somewhat distraught that the bridge will be gone — to me, the city and the bridge are very much a part of each other.
