Sometimes common everyday things like this catch my eye and
I just can’t resist capturing it in a painting. By the way this was a very
tasty farm fresh egg, and when I had finished eating I did this painting of the
shell. I think a painting like this makes a delightful statement on a kitchen
wall, don’t you? You might want to place a bid before this one gets away; egg
shells are fragile.
Thanks for stopping by, and
have a delicious day.

TREES, SKY, RELAXING PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE by TOM BROWN
$30 – CLICK HERE for this original oil painting.
As I was painting this scene I was reminded of the old song
entitled “DON’T FENCE ME IN.” That gave me the title for this painting, which
has a weathered hand-made fence in the foreground. I thought it was an
interesting part of the scene, since the fence no longer had any functioning
purpose. I particularly like finding scenes that seem to provide a momentary escape
from the hectic pace of everyday life, and this peaceful setting is a perfect
example. I was quite pleased with how this one came out and I hope you enjoy it
too.
Thanks for stopping by and have a relaxing day.

HERONS, WETLAND NATURE PRESERVE by TOM BROWN
$30 – CLICK HERE for this original Plein Air oil painting.
This wetland Nature preserve is another of my favorite spots
to paint, and while I was there I shot a couple of photos that are interesting
to compare with my painting.
In one of the photos you see a white heron at the water’s
edge. These are magnificent birds and they often stand as still as a statue for
prolonged periods of time. I am guessing they’re waiting for just the right
snack to come along. But the neat part for an artist like me is that they make
great models because they don’t move. This makes it easier to put them into a
painting.
I hope this peaceful scene brings you a sense of relaxation
and a brief respite from the hustle and bustle of daily life. If so, then I’ve
accomplished my goal.
Thanks for stopping by and have a peaceful day.

HOME, TREES, SUNLIGHT and SHADOWS by TOM BROWN
$30 – CLICK HERE for this original Plein Air oil painting.
The eye-catching contrast of golden sunlight and cool
shadows drew me to this one, and I couldn’t resist capturing that effect in
this colorful oil painting. I liked the way the warm sunlight washed across the
scene, creating a golden glow on the house at the side of the road. The warmth
of the light was further accentuated by the cool shadows and the overall effect
was quite beautiful. I was pleased with how this painting turned out, and I
hope you like it too.

PLEIN AIR LANDSCAPE with an AMUSING TITLE by TOM BROWN
$30 – CLICK HERE for this original Plein Air oil painting.
This tree seems to be doing its best to move uphill, and
that suggested the title for this piece, “UPWARDLY
MOBILE.” I particularly like finding scenes to paint that offer a momentary
escape from the stress of everyday life. And this peaceful setting is a perfect
example. I enjoyed painting it and I was quite pleased with how it turned out.
I hope it brings you the same sense of peace and restfulness that I experienced
when creating this piece. If so, then I’ve accomplished my goal.
Thanks for stopping by and have a peaceful day.
