Tom Blood
Piece description from the artist
A woman with long, flowing hair in a blue dress stands atop a rocky summit, holding an open bird cage with blue birds flying out and up into the turbulent sky. This painting was a joy to create as to me, it represented opening up and letting go which can be such a freeing experience. Everything just seemed to click on this painting, not bound by lines but rather, just letting the paint brush do its thing and it was so much fun to see this one evolve. To me, it truly is Happiness Released.
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.
