LARGE URBAN SCENE, PEOPLE, FIGURATIVE DAILY PAINTING (click here to see my eBay art)



“THE HUM OF THE CITY” by Tom Brown
LARGE IMPRESSIONIST DAILY PAINTING
24X18 OIL/CANVAS
(MAKE ME A REASONABLE OFFER AND THIS COULD BE YOURS)


This large urban scene is filled with interesting detail to explore. A man leans against the antique town clock checking his wristwatch. Couples stroll past carrying shopping bags, holding hands or immersed in conversation. Businessmen with briefcases are involved in animated discussion. A young boy holds hands with his father. A senior couple walks with a younger man (possibly their son) who is carrying his jacket over his shoulder, while another figure pauses to observe something beyond our sight. Sunlight caresses their shoulders and creates long graceful shadows across the foreground.

FIGURATIVE DAILY PAINTING (click here to see my eBay art)


“ARTISTS AT WORK” by Tom Brown
IMPRESSIONIST DAILY PAINTING
Original oil on canvas
SOLD

I nearly named this painting “Plein Air Painting of Plein Air Painters Painting en Plein Air.” This is a painting I did on location at the finish of a workshop, showing a few of my students painting at Newport Back Bay wildlife preserve. Foggy atmosphere veiled the cliffs across the bay and created a nice mood.

We had a wonderful time, painted some beautiful pictures and formed great friendships. The artist on the far right is a newspaper columnist; the man next to her is her husband. The man second from left is a successful commercial artist and the woman on the far left is a first-time artist. We always have an interesting mix of people in my workshops and I enjoy meeting and getting to know each of them.
