TRUCK, VERY AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“TRUCK FARM”

plein air oil painting by Tom Brown
SOLD

I look for the beauty in the commonplace. And I emphasize that beauty in my paintings.

Sharing these visual treats with others is my goal. For a while I can still offer these little treasures at very affordable prices so that more collectors can afford them until I resume gallery affiliations late next year.

My larger paintings were represented through galleries nationwide for more than 20 years. My TV show also created a great demand for my paintings and my work is in many major corporate and private collections.

Several years ago I pulled out of galleries and began offering these small daily paintings directly through my Daily Painter’s blog.

The response continues to be very gratifying but next year I expect to be in galleries again, which will necessitate a rise in prices.

Meanwhile if this little jewel speaks to you grab it while you can! Email me for purchasing details: tombrownstudio@cox.net

A railroad crossing on a remote country road may not inspire everyone but it caught my eye and I immediately saw the potential for a painting. This quiet scene brought a sense of peace and contemplation to me as I painted it. Perhaps it will touch you, too.

VINTAGE FARM TRUCK, AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“OLD FARM HAND”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown
SOLD

Like beautiful music or a good story, art can soothe the soul and lift the spirits.

A successful painting has an elusive quality of “magic” within, which touches others on some level. Perhaps by triggering unexpected feelings or fond memories. Perhaps through common experiences, or something else.

Each viewer will then “frame” this magic in his or her own personal context, creating the springboard that makes the painting his or her own.

We each have a unique set of life experiences and so we each react differently to a painting. But my goal is to reach out and touch someone’s heart in some way through my art – and let them know we’re connected.

If this painting speaks to you, then I have succeeded.

I’ve been discussing these thoughts with a good friend up north of here and I decided to share them with you today on this blog. As always, I welcome your comments. Let me know your feelings on these things.

If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me for details: tombrownstudio@cox.net

Thanks for stopping to look. – Tom Brown

SOLD

This was painted at a location where I will be conducting a plein air workshop in a few weeks. I painted this while scouting locations for my current workshop.

SMALL AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“A MOMENT CAPTURED”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

Pure emotion was the subject of this painting. It was a very brief moment of dazzling color at sunset. Time prohibits dawdling at times like this – there isn’t a moment to lose. Like many things in life, these effects last for a heartbeat and suddenly they are gone forever, never to be repeated exactly the same.

This was painted from the heart. Each brush stroke was placed instinctively, without conscious filtering or over-thinking it. Bam! Get it down and keep moving, quickly! You can see this in the detail photo.

Sometimes a subject permits a studied approach with more details and finesse. Other times, like this, there is time to record only my emotional reaction to the scene. It is a bit of my heart and soul recorded in paint.

Trees swayed in the gentle breeze, and their shadows danced lightly across this walking path and bridge. Sometimes a subject grabs me so strongly that I have no choice but to put it on canvas.

SMALL AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“A MOMENT CAPTURED”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown
SOLD

The subject is sometimes 1/10th the idea and emotion is 9/10ths of it.

This unusual piece was painted at the edge of the abandoned El Toro military base as I waited for a TV crew to arrive. They were coming to film another segment of my TV show.

I had arrived early and as I looked around I felt a sense of sadness at this disappearing era. Soon there would be no trace of this entire chapter of history. Countless lives and stories had been intertwined here over the decades, and now it was vanishing forever.

Weeds have pushed through the cracked pavement. Palm trees have sprouted uninvited and engulfed a utility pole. Phone wires crisscross in every direction. In the distance a few vehicles are parked beside an abandoned warehouse as workers prepare to demolish the building.

Something compelled me to capture this final glimpse of history before it was gone forever.

Sharing these visual treats with others is my goal. For a while I can still offer these little treasures at very affordable prices until I resume gallery affiliations late next year.

I realize that this painting will not appeal to everyone, but it was painted because the subject moved me. If this little jewel speaks to you grab it while you can! Email me for purchasing details: tombrownstudio@cox.net

LARGE PLEIN AIR IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“BLOWN AWAY”
11x14 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

SOLD

This is much larger than I usually paint on location but I was feeling inspired. Occasionally I take larger canvases with me when I search out locations to paint in case I have an opportunity like this.

In fact, I plan to demonstrate how to paint large canvases en plein air during my upcoming plein air workshop.

It is a workshop designed to teach other artists the joy of plein air painting, and we begin this week, on Saturday morning (the 14th). During the course of the workshop we will be painting the ocean, mountains, canyons and other scenic wonders. I have even selected locations where we can paint in comfort if it happens to rain.

Absolute control of each brush stroke can be the key to capturing the feeling of a subject. And of course, color and lighting are essential elements as well. Every subject presents different challenges, and this is what makes plein air painting so much fun for me.
