Every picture is worth a thousand words. The same can be said about a
stroke representing large sections of reality. Each stroke in this painting
plays a major role in depicting a snowy scene. Step back far enough and
you would think you were looking out a window. With a color stick one
quarter inch round you get a slightly larger stroke melting it to hot
metal. The red represents the leaves of fall still on the trees. The yellow
in the clouds reflects the ground in the slight shadow. The whole scene
comes to life as a bouquet of color. If one stroke could tell the whole
story then one color could tell the whole story. You can count the strokes
using nine special colors. The second painting after the severing of Tom’s
left leg. Bright look forward with a clear sky and yellow shadows just
as the light fades. The second painting, after Tom lost his lower left
leg, of the slope.

Painting with blobs is reality. Composition and time of day establishes
the painting. This new manner cannot change the situation. The gross manner
lends itself to familiarity. The visceral manner guided by natural illustration
makes everyone there. Each stroke takes on more significance. Reality
reduced to something a printer would do but when the artist reduces the
scene to a few blobs that still have the scene then now that’s painting.
Each round edged blob means more. The blob represents the reality of painting
in the classical manner. Strike while the iron is hot. Why do anything
unless you are ready? The same is true with painting.

Tom invented this painting technique. Tom melts oil pastels on metal
by heating the metal. Once cooled the work will stay in place unless heated
to 255 degrees, at 155 degrees you can manipulate the oil pastel without
having the oil pastel move towards gravity. Run warm water over to clean,
do not rub or brush, let dry and replace in frame. Do not touch the surface.
The work should last for hundreds if not thousands of years if undisturbed
not heated above 175 F and lit by indirect light.
