The color and texture of these eucalyptus trees caught my eye. They stand along the border of a local farm, planted generations ago as a wind-break for the crops.

I've always been attracted to their multi-hued, highly-textured trunks and decided to set up my pochade easel here and paint them from life (known as plein air painting).

The rich colors of the trees contrast with the very pale colors in the sky, which adds extra interest to this little gem. I was pleased with this painting and I hope you like it too.

Thanks for stopping to look.

ORIGINAL OIL PAINTING by Tom Brown

I am an American artist and I host a TV Art Instruction show where I teach studio oil painting and plein air painting in the Impressionist style. I also teach other artists how to paint through oil painting workshops and art instruction CDs and DVDs. My Impressionist plein air landscapes, still life compositions, portraits and figure paintings have been represented through prominent galleries for more than 20 years. My paintings are in corporate collections including the City of Irvine, Sears, Standard Oil, and Coca Cola. My work is often seen in leading art publications like Southwest Art, Art & Antiques, American Art Review, American Art Collector, Art Calendar and others. I am a former president of the Orange Art Association and past member of the Laguna Plein Air Painters Association and Southern California Plein Air Painters Association. On my Daily Painter blog I offer affordable small original oil paintings to introduce my work to new and ongoing collectors. Much of my work these days is done on a private commission basis, and I welcome inquiries. Thanks for looking.
