Piece description from the artist
This is the fourth and final of my "Out of the Woods" series. First came summer, followed by fall, winter and now spring. In each painting, the forest is different, the woman is different and what's inside the woman also varies making this a very interesting series – each different from the other, yet all the same concept. This is probably my most detailed one done to date and it involves a little pointillism, some impressionism along with a dash of realism and of course, a healthy dose of surrealism. With the spring theme, I originally was going to have the woman consist of rain, but instead, opted for a lightning filled sky for a bit more drama. 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.
