Southern Paintings
Surfers, 16" x 12", oil on board, June 2005
Palm Beach Garage Apartment8" x 10", oil on canvas, winter 1986Painted from life, as a remembrance of the years Tom stayed in the apartment above the garage at 617 Brazilian Ave, home of Kenneth Douglas and James Barker. Tom was the artist in residence there for several years. The painting shows the deck off the back with a palm tree to the right and sliver of moon above. The colors are of the sunset, a gold band along the horizon and deep blue sky above. The frame is a very gaudy, heavy frame suitable for the decor of Palm Beach. Painted with a spider palette that Tom developed that winter. The device was made from a caulking gun and using angles and tubes was completely adjustable so that when you triggered the handle paint would come out in exact quantities to make any color using four oil colors, magenta, yellow, blue and white. Palm Beach MoonOil on canvas, 16" x 12", 1989 Silk Screen Print of Key West's Southernmost House
Crab pots, 10" x 8", Oil on canvas, 1988
Bahamian Home, 20" x 16", watercolor on paper, 1995 The best example of Tom's large scale watercolor. He painted it for his wife's birthday. They had just been there on vacation and this was the view out their front porch. The town is Hopetown. They were staying next to Toad Hall. All the homes have names. You can see Irene and Tom on the front pouch. The manner was led by WInslow Homer. There is a watercolor by him that is quite similar but more stormy. A little video about the painting, posted on YouTube in Google Earth at Hope Town.
