TREASURE ISLAND, PLEIN AIR PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

"THE TREASURE ISLAND STORY"
7x5 INCH PLEIN AIR ORIGINAL OIL
PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

This painting has an interesting story involving a near drowning.

Last weekend I conducted a plein air workshop where we painted from atop cliffs overlooking a spot known as "Treasure Island" in Southern California.

Suddenly we heard panicked cries for help from a diver who was swimming in the bay below us. We were too far away to help, but to our relief we watched several strong swimmers race to the rescue of the troubled diver.

It all ended well, and it created some memorable moments during our plein air workshop.

This painting is currently available at "pre-gallery" pricing. Email for details:

VIDEO & CITY STREET PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

"MORNING LIGHT"
7x5 INCH ORIGINAL PLEIN AIR
OIL PAINTING BY TOM BROWN

What a fun way to start the day. The early morning light made this scene glow with a peachy color and I just HAD to capture that feeling in a painting. I popped open my custom paintbox and went to work. (Click the type above this image to watch a video about this perfect little paintbox.)

All was quiet except for a lone construction worker across the street and I painted with no interruptions. It was a blissful way to begin the day.

At the finish of the painting I decided to include the traffic cone in front of the truck. It added a nice spot of color and uniqueness to the painting.

If you'd like this little jewel, email me: tombrownstudio@cox.net. Thanks for stopping by. Have a colorful day.
