Terrific artist. Fantastic presentation

[gwpriester]

Tom is a painter and his paintings are large and detailed down to each hair. This I believe is his first showing of sketches.

Awesome Gary, thanks for sharing.
I agree on the presentation, very simple and efficient.

My favorite is the cougar.

Those are awesome art works by Tom! Even the hair is very fine.

Very talented, but I confess that these just leave me cold. I am in awe of the skill required to create them, but there's no emotional connection for me.

I sorta agree with Paul... these are technically excellent, but do they stimulate my imagnation... no.... with the exception of the donkey [welcome to the wild west] who has an expression I can relate to, and which puts thoughts in my head which is the point of art for me

the rest don't actually say anything [apart of course to remind me I am nowhere near this clever a technical draghtsman]

Every one of those is simply awesome.
Art doesn't have to move me. Art doesn't have to give me a warm feeling.
I just enjoy good art, and that artwork is absolutely brilliant.

the technique is outstanding .... and I dare say commercial...

but to what extent does it display originality ?

ok - we all have our own way of judging these things

let me put it this way - you can be the most clever orator ever, or the most brilliant writer - but hey, you gotta have something to say ! - for me art is no different, except it's probably closer to poetry...
