Mt.
Adams, Cincinnati
$750,
January 1 1988, Silk-screen on paper, 36" x 24"
Created
using several rubber stamps of different screen stamped on acetate plates.
Regular offset colors were printed, yellow, magenta and blue. A line drawing
was included with each plate printing black. The overall effect was like
the view Tom had come to know and love. A cold hillside in the dead of
winter offered the best painting conditions for the best view in Cincinnati,
Mt. Adams.
Nantucket Series
Created using three acetate plates
that were laid on top of a textured piece of clear plastic. Underneath
was the master drawing. Each plate was created on the thin acetate using
a black conte' crayon or grease pencil. Each plate represented one color
of the three color process colors, yellow, cyan and magenta. By combining
all the colors you printed black. A black plate was created by including
it with each of the three color printings.
The images were the same views
that Tom painted in Nantucket everyday during the summer. He would rotate
from one to another view completing the canvas in one day. All told he
completed several hundred paintings. He used the time to learn color and
composition for landscape painting.
These views were part of the five
different views of Nantucket’s Main Street fountain Tom painted. He painted
these views over and over for two summers. These views were readily saleable
and allowed him to create his landscape manner. The first year’s paintings
were very rough.
In college Tom worked at a local
silkscreen company and after leaving them he would occasionally go back
there and do his own work. Tom was Kinduell Screen Products “artist in
residence.” These prints present the advanced form of work that came from
that association. The prints were created using a master drawing laid
under a clear textured piece of Mylar then a thin layer of smooth acetate.
Tom would draw the four plates on this thin acetate with a black grease
crayon. The black and one of the color plates were then exposed on a light
sensitized silk screen and printed. The sensitive nature of the exposed
screen only allowed about thirty impressions. He hope to someday go back
and do some more prints like this.

From Wikipedia, the
free encyclopedia
A dancing maenad. This is a Greek statuette from the 3rd century BC. It
was made in TarantoIn Greek mythology, Maenads were the female followers
of Dionysus, the most significant members of the Thiasus, the retinue
of Dionysus. Their name literally translates as "raving ones".
Often the maenads were portrayed as inspired by him into a state of ecstatic
frenzy, through a combination of dancing and drunken intoxication.In this
state, they would lose all self control, begin shouting excitedly, engage
in uncontrolled sexual behavior, and ritualistically hunt down and tear
animals (and sometimes men and children) to pieces, devouring the raw
flesh. During these rites, the maenads would dress in fawn skins\and
carry a thyrsus, a long stick wrapped in ivy or vine leaves and tipped
by a pine cone, weave ivy-wreaths around their heads, and often handle
or wear snakes
