"COUNTRY LIVING" by Tom Brown
8x10 inch oil/canvas Daily Painting

I would love to paint something specifically for you, such as a larger version of my blog painting. I work in any size, often up to 30x40 and sometimes larger. I guarantee my very best quality of work on every commission.

I still enjoy painting on locations like this several times weekly, but currently much of my time is occupied in preparing for a large one man show that will be held later this year. I will continue to offer a small inexpensive painting a day on eBay like the one above, so please check back often or sign up for an automatic email of my daily blog at the upper right of this page. Thanks for looking.

"THREE AMIGOS" Still Life by Tom Brown
8x10 inch oil/canvas Daily Painting

My wife picked up these tree ripened nectarines from Chile at the store today and I couldn’t resist painting them. In my paintings like this I try to communicate my emotional response to a subject and bring out the beauty I see. I use lively color and bold, energetic strokes to keep my work fresh and spontaneous so the emotion comes through. If you can sense this in my work and it adds beauty and joy to YOUR life, then I have succeeded. - Tom Brown.

MINIATURE PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE (click here to buy)



SOLD

"ONE THAT ALMOST GOT AWAY " by Tom Brown
4.5x3 inch oil/paper

This small painting has big punch! I was struck by the colors of the scene and the massive tree leaning over a walking path at the edge of a canyon. But I was on my way somewhere else and my schedule didn’t allow for painting a full sized canvas. Rather than lose this scene forever I quickly captured the essentials in this miniature study using only a palette knife on paper. This painting measures just 4.5” wide by 3” high, but it packs a powerful punch.

This little jewel has been hanging on my studio wall since I painted it last summer, and I finally decided to offer it on eBay. With proper framing it will really come alive on your own wall, bringing a ray of sunshine and a breath of fresh air into your home. Enjoy the view; it almost got away! - Tom Brown.

PALM TREE IMPRESSIONIST TONALIST PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE (CLICK HERE TO BID)



SOLD

"WILD PALM" Palm trees have always attracted me. When I lived in the Midwest I enjoyed vacationing in tropical places, and palms came to represent a vacation state of mind. Now I’ve lived in California for many years where palms are plentiful, but they still have a hold on me. I found this untrimmed palm tree growing wild in an abandoned field. As I painted it the only sounds were the rustling of the dry fronds in the balmy breeze. The opening bid on eBay for this 8”x10” plein air painting is $85, with no reserve. Thanks for stopping to look, and enjoy the view! -- Tom Brown.
