Piece description from the artist
Everyone dreams of the love of their life. I’m blessed in that I married mine. This painting is meant to be kind of dreamlike. A woman atop a rock formation that towers into the clouds – and in the clouds there appears to be a giant heart. Is she dreaming of the love of her life? A love that has been lost? Or, perhaps, never found?
Creating this painting was its own labor of love. I worked on the sky for many, many hours. After a while, I began to see my own interpretation of cloud formations – a bear’s face; an eagle, some initials – do you see them, too?
I paint for the love of painting. It was for the love of love that I painted this. I hope you like it.
Tom Blood is a self-taught, modern-day surrealist, heavily influenced by his all-time favourite artist, Rene Magritte. Some of his early works include two crowd favorites – "Bobby Hull" which was created using a palette knife and "The Three Stooges" which was created using three primary colors. Since that time, Tom has pursued a more surrealistic path. He paints ideas. His goal is to paint the impossible, or at least, the highly improbable. With his paintings, viewers can always tell what's going on, not necessarily knowing why. He wants his paintings to tell stories that make people think, or bring a smile. His work has won numerous awards locally and he has had a number of solo shows in the St. Louis, Missouri area where he was born and raised.
