Check my blog New Year’s Day – If the weather cooperates I plan to go outside and do a nocturne painting of the Blue Moon on New Year’s Eve.

A New Year’s Eve Blue Moon only occurs ONCE every 19 years! The next one won’t be until 2028. So check my blog New Year’s Day for this historic painting.

A note to all artists: My new Plein Air workshop begins January 9, 2010. Above are highlights from past workshops I’ve conducted. Email me for details if you’d like to join the fun and paint with me this time.

Have a Happy New Year!

PLEIN AIR IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


“PICKER’S TRUCK”
6x10 inch Impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

To purchase this painting email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net

At the edge of an orange grove I spotted this beat-up old truck among the trees. The late afternoon light and shadows swept over it, and I couldn’t resist. This one has been on my wall since I painted it this past Summer, and I finally decided to share it here. Let me know if it appeals to you.

Thanks for looking, and have a fantastic New Year!

COFFEE, 8x10 IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN



“A FRESH START”
8x10 inch Impressionist
oil painting by Tom Brown

To purchase this painting email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net
SOLD

Sometimes a painting is about the subject, and other times it’s about the paint itself – strokes, texture, edge quality, color handling, etc. And always it’s about mood, and light, and joy.

In this little beauty I focused on expressing the energy of the strokes and color to capture the light on a steaming cup of freshly brewed coffee. (If you know me, you know how I LOVE my coffee!)

I’m not sure the computer image captures the colors. The background and tabletop are very muted, almost grayed colors. But colors really SING in the spot where the morning light hits the cup.

You’ll either love this one, or not. You can’t force it. It’s either there or it’s not.

But in any case, thanks for looking, and have a fantastic New Year!

LARGE SOUTHWEST PLEIN AIR IMPRESSIONIST LANDSCAPE by TOM BROWN



“A WHOLE LOT OF NOTHING”
16x8 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown
To purchase this painting email me at: tombrownstudio@cox.net
SOLD

To those not familiar with the desert it often seems like a whole lot of nothing. But there is actually a great deal of wonderful landscape to explore, both physically and through paintings.

This scene is an off-road vista near Palm Springs, California. The muted hues and quiet Southwestern panorama were more than I could resist. I found it a treat to paint on a somewhat larger canvas than is normally used for Plein Air painting, while maintaining my loose, painterly style and bold brushwork.

In 2010 I will be working on a number of large studio paintings for galleries and that got me in the mood to work larger than normal on location as well. During my January Plein Air Workshop I’ll also be teaching other artists how to work successfully on large canvases when painting on location.

Thank you for making 2009 a wonderful year for me. I appreciate the support of each of you who have been my loyal collectors and students over the years. I look forward to a very exciting 2010 and I wish each and every one of you success and fulfillment in the New Year.

LARGE PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


“PACIFIC GROVE CYPRESS”
11x14 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown


During a painting trip up the coast I spent some time in Pacific Grove to capture a number of stunning scenes on canvas. This is one of them.

This is a bit larger than I work on-site when teaching workshops for other artists or filming for the TV shows. When I am painting alone I can complete canvases this size on location without interruptions. Hope you enjoy the view.

PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


“LAGUNA CANYON MORNING”
8x10 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown


Massive rock formations rise several stories high from the canyon floor, surrounded by oaks and a wide array of foliage. A walking path snakes through the canyon. It was a perfect setting to capture in oils.

This was painted on location this weekend during a plein air workshop I conducted in Laguna Canyon. We enjoyed a sunny, balmy day while the east coast shivered under a heavy blanket of snow.

PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


“PEACEFUL SOLITUDE”
8x8 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

During a plein air workshop I recently taught we painted beneath shelter due to heavy rains pouring down. Despite the weather we found plenty of beautiful subject matter to paint. This was the scene I chose.

The weather created diffused lighting and muted colors throughout the landscape, lending a sense of peace and serenity. And despite the heavy rains (rare for our area of Southern California) we painted in complete comfort beneath an open-sided shelter with wonderful views of the landscape.

NIGHT SCENE, IMPRESSIONIST OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


“DISTANT LIGHTS AT NIGHT”
8x10 inch California impressionist
original oil painting by Tom Brown
SOLD

These small treasures make terrific Holiday gifts, and they are very reasonably priced at the moment. When I resume gallery affiliations next year I will be forced to raise prices. Until then I can still offer these little treasures at very low prices.

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

How to write for the internet (it’s the direct opposite of printed materials)

Finding more collectors (in unexpected places)

Hi-tech & lo-tech selling (the ‘net isn’t the only road to riches)

The entrepreneurial experience (you REALLY need this guide to stay out of trouble and maximize each phase of the selling cycle)

NOCTURNE PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN




“NIGHT LIGHTS”
5x7 inch California impressionist
plein air oil painting by Tom Brown

SOLD

I like to paint outdoors at night, directly from nature. To paint nocturnes on location I use a small paintbox that is entirely self-contained. I simply open the box and I’m ready to paint. When I finish, I just close the lid and I’m packed to travel.

I have a small headlamp that fastens to my cap. It illuminates the painting and palette while I work, yet preserves my night vision. I am including a photo taken after painting another nocturne. You can see the paintbox and headlamp on my cap.
