"MOONLIGHT OVER HARBOR"
Approx. 4.5x3.5 inch miniature
original oil painting on paper by Tom Brown
This small palette knife painting was done on the spur of the moment when inspiration struck. I usually carry a small pochade box in the car to be ready for moments like this. (This is the same pochade box you've seen in many of my YouTube videos.) It sets up instantly.

When I spotted the sparkling harbor scene at night I whipped out the paintbox and used just a knife to quickly capture the essence of the scene – the magic that took my breath away.

The beauty of knife painting is that it’s so direct. When I finish, I wipe the knife with a tissue and close the pochade box. I’m packed and ready to go. No brushes to clean, no solvents to deal with. It’s quick and easy. And it allows me to capture things like this while the inspiration is hot.

Thanks for looking.

VINEYARD, TREES, GOLDEN SKY, 12x16 inch ORIGINAL OIL by TOM BROWN



EMAIL ME FOR PURCHASING DETAILS:

COLORFUL VINEYARD
12x16 inch ORIGINAL OIL
by TOM BROWN

A rich variety of colors and heavily textured strokes of luscious oils bring something special to this painting. It really must be seen in person to be fully appreciated; computer monitors cannot display the subtle hues and textures in this painting.

This painting is about the “process” of painting as much as the subject itself. Many of the strokes seem almost “out of control” yet this is the result of a very deliberate approach. I sometimes like to incorporate this sort of self-conscious brushwork into a painting to call attention to the actual paint and texture on the surface of the canvas.

I’m not putting this one on eBay. If you would like to own this please email me for details.

CONTEMPORARY FIGURE PAINTINGS, 6x6 inch OILS ON CANVAS by TOM BROWN

Yesterday I introduced the first in a new series of figure paintings I am developing, showing candid glimpses of people in unguarded moments. Each of the initial paintings in this series features everyday people texting on their cell phones.

Three of the paintings are shown here: “TXT ME,” “CTO” (Check This Out), and “BOOMM” (Bored Out Of My Mind). A detail from “BOOMM” is also shown above, where you can better see the style of brush technique I used.

The concept for these paintings began while I was doing figure studies for recent commissions. In the process I shot hundreds of photos and did endless sketches from life. People at shopping centers, outdoor cafes, in local parks and on the street were my unsuspecting subjects.

I began to see interesting patterns, which evolved into various themes. One theme is the cell phone series that includes the paintings shown here.

In addition to capturing the gestures of the figures I also wanted to bring unique and interesting brushwork to the paintings as you can see in the detail image from “BOOMM.”

Each of the paintings in the entire series is painted in oils on a 6x6 inch canvas panel so that various pieces can be displayed together as a grouping if desired.

These paintings will not be shown on eBay. They are available directly from me, and each is priced at $125. Shipping is free, however I only ship within the USA. If you are interested in purchasing one or more, please email me at

Thanks for looking.

CONTEMPORARY URBAN FIGURE WITH CELL PHONE, 6x6 inch ORIGINAL OIL by TOM BROWN


“TXT ME”
6x6 inch ORIGINAL OIL
ON CANVAS PANEL -- $125.
(FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE USA)

You are viewing my original oil painting, “TXT ME” depicting a young woman on her cell phone.

It is one in a unique new series of contemporary urban figures I’ve developed. This series captures candid moments in the lives of everyday people.

The first wave of paintings in the series focuses on individuals using cell phones. Each painting is 6x6 inches on a canvas panel, and they are ideal for displaying as a grouped set.

As an example I’m including a photo of how this painting might be combined with others in the series.

From time to time in the coming weeks I will be posting others in the series. I do NOT intend to offer these paintings on eBay at any time. If you are interested in purchasing any of them, please email me directly and I will send payment details. Each painting in the series is the same size and price. Thanks for watching.

ONE DOLLAR AUCTION, 6x6 inch PRISTINE LANDSCAPE by TOM BROWN

CLICK HERE TO BID:

On my TV shows I demonstrated my Plein Air painting style using brushes. But sometimes I enjoy creating entire paintings using just the palette knife. It always makes a bold, dramatic statement with eye-catching appeal.

This little gem is a perfect example. It has a certain richness and sparkle that cannot be achieved any other way. I think this will make a beautiful statement in any room of the home. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.

THE GREEN RAY AT SUNSET 6x6 inch PALETTE KNIFE OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN


CLICK HERE TO BID:
I have had the good fortune to observe the green ray on three separate occasions. This is a rare optical phenomenon that occurs at the moment of sunset when a green spot is visible for a second or two at the point of sunset. If you are not familiar with this you may want to search online for more information. It is truly a breath taking experience to witness it.

Enjoy the view; enjoy the moment. And thanks for looking.

CLICK HERE TO BID:

“LAKE HOUSE”
8x6 in. ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR
OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN
This was painted entirely on location as I taught a Plein Air Workshop in the late afternoon. I’m including a photo of the scene taken while I painted this. I thought it might be interesting for comparison with my interpretation of the scene.

When the photo was shot the mountains in the background were barely visible to the camera, and I enhanced them somewhat in my painting. I also simplified the grassy bank in the foreground, and included a path to the water which was actually farther to the left and out of the photo. I also show reflections in the lake. These reflections disappeared when a breeze disturbed the surface of the lake, and so the photo doesn’t show these reflections.

Thanks for looking.
