The Journey

Piece description from the artist

This painting is a metaphor about life. We're all on our own individual journey. We don't always know where we're going or how we'll get there. But if we go forward with confidence and keep putting one foot in front of the other, we can get to where we want to be. Of course, it helps to have support along the way, which in this case, is the young boy's teddy bear that's in the wagon. After having paused at one of the dune's crests, the boy continues on his journey, ready to take on whatever comes next.

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.
