Last Updated January 18, 2023. Finally figured out how to upload files from within Dreamweaver making it much easier to update the site. Look forward to lots of updates. It's been two years since I lost this capability because I left one server and moved everything over to GoDaddy. They have been very helpful.
Every portrait is special to you, the one painted and the artist. Tom will make the portrait creation desirable to all three. Anything is possible: charcoal, watercolor and oil portraits can be done quickly if necessary.
Tom likes to take as much time as he can when creating art.
Tom likes to visit with the subject once a week, staying about one hour. During that time he will make sketches, take photos and have the subject sit for a few minutes. Children love the process and look forward to his visits. It is a sad day when he no longer visits. A drawing is done in pencil on the canvas using the composition ideas of the client, once approved the painting begins. Painting is wet on wet, each section is completed while the paint is wet. When the paint starts to congeal painting that section stops. When Tom starts a face he brings the canvas to the sitter for a live sitting. After working in the studio almost completing the face he will return for another live sitting. Tom borrows the sitter’s clothes and dresses up a wire mannequin for the clothes and works from life. The background is painted completing the portrait.

Clifton Family, 24" x 20", oil on canvas, December 2009, Commission
Started in April 2008 after a hiatus of two years waiting for the baby to grow
up. Sketches were agreed on and work commenced with Tom painting in the side
yard of the neighbors home for the summer. Work progressed from right to left.
The dogs were painted first then the master and his wife. Painting has recommenced
at the Cincinnati Sports Club where Tom had a show of paintings in the lobby
in March and April 09 and took advantage of a invitation to paint there to paint
the children. He has been spent a week on each figure. Tom has changed his medium,
the oil he paints with during this painting. Since it was started in April of
2008, Tom has changed from 1/2 Demar varnish 1/2 stand oil to 4/5 stand oil
1/5 poppy oil. Stand oil is thickened linseed oil that does not yellow as much.
Both mediums had oil of clove added to retard drying. Toms new medium has a
longer drying time and does not thickened as much before setting. Tom manner
is to paint with this medium tinting the medium to create the color. Most colors
created using the white of the canvas as the white. Only in the darkest parts
of the painting does the saturation of oil colors prevent the white of the canvas
from showing through. Tom does this because of his fascination with the surface
of painting. This manner allows the most exciting surface. The final painting
on the home done in the summer of 09 and the new baby added in December. This
is the next level of Tom's work with little people. Three years prior he started
with a series of small works each with an individual of about 6 inches high.
In this work, the 6-inch figures are actual people.
