Tom's Louvre

Tom's Louvre

Here it is finished.  The reason I postponed this painting for so long was because I couldn't envision the final ouvre.  People constantly ask my how I choose what I paint.  I have the luck to paint what my hear desires, but I love to do commissions. 

My images start in my camera.  It's always on me.  Mobile phone cameras don't do it but I have painted some things from iphone pics.  Notably a painting that lives in Bordeaux. 

The image was snapped  at night  through the rear window of a taxi, and it was raining  buckets.  That was in NYC.  The client saw himself as that figure with the umbrella.

When I paint people in scenes they take on personalities.  Often people I know.  It's great to hear people tell me the stories they see happening.

Eat your heart out!

Louvre painting in progress and another forty finished

 

 I've postponed this painting commission for months and thank the person for their patience.  

Oh lalala!  What detail on that building.  It's the Louvre, did you notice?  The facade is covered with stone caryatids.  I used to love stone caryatids.

 

Another forty under the belt.  Now I'm free to create my heart's desire.
