CLOUDS, TREES, MOUNTAINS, TOM BROWN, 5x7 inch PLEIN AIR IMPRESSIONIST ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING

$1 AUCTION. CLICK HERE:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

Cloudy days offer a fresh way to see the landscape. This was a brisk, invigorating day to be outdoors with my paint box. Thick clouds swept across the sky. And the colors of the landscape were very soft and subdued by the cloud cover.

It was a delightful scene to capture. I truly enjoyed painting this; hope you like it too.

Thanks for looking.

$195 OR BEST OFFER, 12x16 CALIFORNIA IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

$195 OR MAKE ME AN OFFER. CLICK HERE:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

Here is another of my old favorites. I painted this on location while teaching a Plein Air Workshop for other artists.

It was an ideal day to be outdoors painting directly from nature, and I think this painting captured that feeling. It will really bring a breath of fresh air to your home.

Like some others I have recently put on eBay, it has been hanging on my studio walls and I have finally decided to let it find a new home.

Thanks for looking.

This was painted on location from a spot known as the "Top Of The World". It seems you can see forever from this vantage point.

I created this as a demonstration painting during a Plein Air workshop I conducted for other artists this morning. The view was stunning and the weather was perfect. It was a wonderful day all around.

TOM BROWN – PLEIN AIR DEMONSTRATION PAINTING, TREES, MIST

$1 AUCTION. CLICK HERE:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

This was a demonstration painting done for my students during a class I taught outdoors on location, working directly from nature. This was a view from the Jeffrey Open Space Trail in California.

The soft, restful colors of the distant trees are softened by the morning mist, and they contrast with the bolder colors of the foreground tree.

Capturing these atmospheric effects was part of my lesson for the other artists in my group.

TOM BROWN - NOSTALGIA, AMERICANA - 8x6 inch ORIGINAL OIL PLUS SKETCH.

ORIGINAL 8x6-inch OIL PAINTING
AND 4x7-inch ANTIQUE SKETCH
$1 AUCTION. CLICK HERE:

http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

I love abandoned old roadside structures and often stop to paint or sketch them on the spot when I discover them. This painting was done from sketches I created many years ago.

The sketches were stored away and forgotten until recently. I found them again while cleaning out old studio files.

The building had been used for the unlikely combination of a restaurant and bait shop in the Midwest. I discovered the abandoned structure on a country back road and did numerous pencil sketches and studies of it at the time.

One of those sketches (on very yellowed old 4x7-inch paper) will be included as part of this auction and will be shipped with the actual painting.

It was a stormy day; not the best for painting outdoors on location. But I was intent on capturing the weather effects on canvas and decided to take a chance. I was in luck. I completed this entire painting on location before the storm broke.

Paintings done directly from nature, (en plein air) often seem to capture the feeling of the moment better than studio work. This is an example of that.

I hope you enjoy this one as much as I enjoyed painting it. Thanks for looking.

$1 AUCTION. CLICK HERE:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/tombrownfineart/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg

It’s rare to get skies with such dramatic clouds here in Southern California. It was an exciting opportunity and I couldn’t resist getting out to paint this while I had the chance. The colors of the landscape were very subtle and muted because of the weather conditions, and it was refreshing to capture that.

I shot a photo of the actual scene for comparison with my interpretation of it while I painted this en plein air. The photo allows you to see where I took artistic license and altered things slightly in order to make a better picture.

Of course the clouds were constantly moving and changing, so that was the first part of the composition I captured. And when the light on the distant foothills was at its most interesting, I locked in that part of the painting too.

It was an invigorating day in the fresh air and I was very pleased with this painting. I hope you enjoy it too. Thanks for stopping to look.

6x6-inch PLEIN AIR PALETTE KNIFE PAINTING.
Most of my paintings are done with brushes, but occasionally I enjoy using just the palette knife to complete an entire painting. It creates a very bold, dramatic effect as you see here.

This was painted on location, on an overcast and windy day. The colors of the landscape were very muted compared to the days when we have bright sunny skies. I very much enjoyed the effects of the weather conditions and wanted to capture that in this painting. I was pleased with the result.
