Fountain Square ILIX, $350, Oil on canvas, 36" x 48", December 19, 2014
Tom has painted Cincinnati’s Fountain Square over fifty times. At first he painted from the second floor of the Westin Hotel during the winter. Other times he painted birds eye view. This view is derived from the Westin Hotel Series. He discovered that the endearing appeal may be because the figure on top with arms outstretched water pouring out of the hands may tap into thoughts of Christ on the Cross. The simplification and distortion of the buildings, trees and surroundings delivers a bouquet of color. Each color is adjusted letting the canvas come through the transparent color if needed.
Fountain Square ILVIII, $350, Oil on canvas, 36" x 48", December 11, 2014
This view is derived from a painting that juxtaposed a nude white woman standing in front of the Lady of the Waters. The simplification and distortion of the buildings delivers a bouquet of color. Each color is adjusted to the others. This was originally painted in chalk in a 4’ x 6’ section of concrete in Clifton Plaza during CliftonFest. The powered chalk was mixed with buttermilk and painted. Once dry the buttermilk acts as a semi-permanent medium allowing the painting to last for several months.
Dolphin Boy II, $300, Acrylic on canvas, 30" x 40", December 4, 2014
The Tyler Davidson fountain has been painted by Tom many times. The first paintings were done in the winter from the second floor of the Westin Hotel. Earlier Tom painted a woman’s portrait with one of the corner statues in the foreground. This painting is the state of the art Tom’s series. The statue plays a dual role of colorful bouquet of color and abstract image of a popular motif in Cincinnati. The nine colors were refined over years. Each color plays a special role and has a deep effect on the artist. Tom feels that these nine colors can take the viewer where he wants to take them with as little extra as possible. These colors were specially mixed at the paint store and have been used almost exclusively. Every time Tom tries to revise or adapt the series it never hits the mark as these colors do. By expanding the color blob sizes you can abstract the work until it plays against knowing and enjoying.
