I was fascinated by the refracted images seen through the glass of water. This actually has more artistic challenges than it seems. It takes close observation and attention to shapes, value changes and color in order to pull off a seemingly simple subject like this. Enjoy!

This serene scene was painted at Irvine Regional Park during my usual Saturday morning plein air class yesterday. This was a wonderful location to paint, and we had ideal weather and great group of fellow artists to work with. It was a perfect way to spend the morning.

I will do another FREE ART GIVEAWAY this month. You might be the lucky winner. Here’s what last month’s winner (Kim V.) said:

“Thanks Tom! Earlier this week I entered a contest to win a free oil painting created by the very talented Tom Brown and I won!

If you haven't seen Tom’s artwork you don't know what you’re missing! His work is dynamic with lots of bold color and brushwork. Not only is he an extremely talented artist but he is an amazing teacher as well….”

“VANISHING VISTA”
Approx 13x9 inch original oil painting
SOLD

This was painted on location not long ago because the vista was so beautiful that it moved my spirit and demanded to be preserved on canvas. It shows a scene in Southern California that is now under construction to become a housing tract. Soon all this will be gone forever.

I painted this on unstretched canvas, vignetted around the edges. It was actually done as a study that I intended to use when creating a large piece in the studio, but I never did paint the larger version. I’m glad I captured this scene when I had the opportunity. The overall canvas measures approximately 13x9 inches, and the painted area is a bit larger than 8x12 inches.
