"SHARING THE MOMENT"
5x7 INCH ORIGINAL
OIL PAINTING BY TOM BROWN
Ever notice how an experience is richer when you share it with someone else? (Like, “This is delicious; taste it.” Or, “Read this; it’s really funny.”)
I guess that’s why I paint. To reach out and connect with someone else; to share my experience of life. It’s one of the reasons anyway.
Every painting is a hunt, a chase. It’s an attempt to capture something unique, something of value. To give solid form to a fuzzy observation or feeling. And share it with someone else. It’s a way to complete an experience.
How can I witness a dramatic setting like this and not share it? That’s what this painting was all about.
I was able to shoot a photo, too. (In the photo you can see a friend who was with me.) But the camera doesn’t always see the world the way I do. So I put my view of it into this painting.
Hope you can relate. If so, enjoy. And have a colorful day.

this is gorgeous - you've brought so much life & color to it - and i really like the knife work, too! lovely painting! i always enjoy seeing the 'inspiration' - & what a painter does with that inspiration - thank you!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about both sharing the joy of a painting, and how a photo doesn't always reveal the depth of color and personal vision. Beautiful landscape painting! Love it and thanks for "sharing".
