“CROSSING GUARD”

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.

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.

SMALL AFFORDABLE IMPRESSIONIST PLEIN AIR OIL PAINTING by TOM BROWN

“A MOMENT CAPTURED”

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
