RAINY DAY, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR PAINTING

Rainy days can be very restful. It’s a perfect time to relax at home with a good book or soothing music.

Or a beautiful day to go out and paint from the comfort of the car along the roadside. The air is sweet. The soft, muted colors of the landscape and sky are soothing and refreshing.

It’s a perfect day. “RESTFUL RAINY DAY” is a4x6-inch original oil painting. I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for looking. Tom Brown tombrownstudio@cox.net

CYCLONE FENCE, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR PAINTING

You could see through the cyclone fence, but you could also see the fence itself.

The challenge was how to paint the fence and “NOT” paint the fence. It had a translucent quality, with the background only partially visible.

The detail image reveals how I did it, along with how I rendered the wire mesh of the fence without overworking it.

“NOW YOU SEE IT, NOW YOU DON’T” is a 5x7-inch original plein air oil painting.

This was painted as a demonstration for other artists at a Plein Air Workshop I taught. Thanks for looking. Tom Brown tombrownstudio@cox.net

TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR PAINTING

Why do I paint? Painting is to artists what play is to a child. Children play for no other reason than the pure enjoyment of it, with no thought of payment. It is something they would do for nothing.

Painting, like the play of children, allows an artist to see things as if for the first time. The beauty of the world is brought into focus. It becomes an escape into joyfulness.

This tiny 4x5-inch study is an example of that. It’s a quick little painting done at the conclusion of a Plein Air Workshop this weekend.

There is no moral here, nor timeless message. It was done for no other reason than the simple sensory pleasure of playing with my paints.

This corner of a red-tiled roof, sunlight glinting off a window pane and palm trees waving gently in the balmy breeze were just my excuse to play with sparkling colors. And perhaps capture the spirit of the moment, to relive it at another time. It was done for fun.

I hope you find time for play in your day. Thanks for looking, and if you’d like this little jewel with its sparkling colors email me at:

$1 AUCTION, AMERICANA, TOM BROWN PLEIN AIR PAINTING

I call this one “VANISHING AMERICA.” Mom & Pop stores like this once did a brisk business on small side roads across America. Freeways now cut through the landscape, bypassing these small town establishments and leaving them to fade away with the bygone era.

About the painting shown above:
“SUNNY MORNING IN THE CANYON”
8x10 inch original plein air
oil painting by Tom Brown

The colors of the foreground trees against the backdrop of the canyon hills and distant mountains caught my eye in this scene. Saturday morning I taught a Plein Air class in Laguna Canyon, and this was the first view I chose.

Ground squirrels and other wildlife entertained us as we painted; that’s something you simply don’t get when working inside the studio.

As always, thanks for stopping by. – Tom Brown
