A little history is in order. Let’s commence with Thomas, a Californian eight-year-old with a bottle of red ink and a crow nib pen. He’s currently a long way from this scene. Now 68 years old in the Buffalo, New York vicinity, it has been a long journey. Tom (let’s get comfortable) still works in Ink, and has added Watercolor, Pastel, and several other media to his repertoire. Primarily he is a Landscape painter. Practicing in the Studio and Outdoor (Plein Air) painting/drawing. A native westerner, he spent his days exploring the huge landscapes of the Sierra Nevada, Mojave Desert, Colorado Plateau Red Rock country, as well as the Rocky Mountains.
