I find the two totally different moods of the two paintings to be very interesting. The warmth of the first invites you in and makes you want to join the experience, while the second is one that you feel you are watching from more of a distance. The groupings are private and intimate affairs that their members want to keep that way.

I have always been fascinated at the color combinations you use and then magically beautiful skin tones appear. That is amazing. It’s definitely not like when you get the peach, tan or brown crayon and color in the skin…like I do .

Tom, you have the ability to make the observer feel like he or she is not intruding on someone else’s joy – sort of like looking through the window of someone else’s life through your art.

I love the light and shadow in the top painting…esp the man with his back to us…the left side of his shirt, his ears…fantasitic! Of course the others a very impressive as well…but the side of my brain that does not work so well is boggled by the plaid shirt and the light on his shoulder ( I know it’s just lighter paint) but the thought is impressive.

I am drawn to the Montmatre grouping, particularly the girl with the dark hair who is the center of the grouping. It is such fun to imagine her conversation as well as the thoughts of the couple who apparently are more interested in the passing tourists. This is an excellent portrayal of the different personalities. Great job, Tom!
