This beautiful painting of Main Street in Madison, Indiana, sold this weekend. It was one of several paintings Tom did for his recent art show at Joeyg’s. -SF
This painting of Tom’s depicts a special day with his children when they were young. Today these children are with Tom at his bedside in the hospital. – SF

Paddling a canoe has always been one of Tom’s favorite things to do. It seems fitting to post this beautiful painting on his surgery day. He has a long recuperation ahead of him, but if all goes well, he will be padding a canoe down a peaceful river in the near future. -SF

Remembering a wonderful trip to London.
Note: Tom’s surgery was postponed a few days. Meanwhile, he is hospitalized. I will continue to post some of his favorite paintings while he recovers. – SF

As I wait for surgery on Monday, I am unable to paint or sketch. In fact, I can’t do much of anything right now. So, I’ll remember happier days like this one – the day I went fishing on Sugar Creek.

Over the past several weeks I have suffered a lot of problem with my legs. They are very painful and I can barely move. I’m scheduled to have a surgery on May 17th. Because of my inablity to walk, I’m unable to work in my studio. This drives me insane!
I got a sketch pad and some pastels and drew a quick self portrait while trying to relax in my bedroom. Here it is. It certainly isn’t what I’d normally do. I have some exciting cityscapes and landscapes in my studio, but they’ll have to wait. You’ll have to look at this sketch. By the way, you can use hair-spray as a fixative on pastel.

This is a painting of my wife, Norene, and me. We sat in front of a mirror to paint it. Norene has been my inspiration. She encouraged me to follow my art career long before I decided to start it. Each painting I do is because she wants me to do it. I love her.
You should see that the painting is very simply done with just shapes of colors and values which came together to form our portrait.

Sarah is standing in a harvested corn field while holding the back of a dining room chair. She is solitary, no one else is with her. A single home is in the background and two other buildings stand resolutely.
The sky is painted with a knife, as is the cornfield. The artist does not know what the painting means.
