Higher

Higher

Piece description from the artist

A young girl on a rope swing is set against a blue sky and great, big, puffy clouds, clearly enjoying the moment as she swings ever higher. This painting represents my own personal quest to avoid any more COVID-19 related paintings. Instead, I wanted to do something bright, something fun, something that brought back memories of when I was a kid. A rope swing seemed like a natural fit and I decided it would be cooler not to have any frame of reference for the swing – just the girl and the swing, set against the sky.

About Tom Blood

St. Louis, MO

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.
