Wood. Gouache on paper. 5th one for #septembera. A sort of mock cover for a story of a girl that becomes a dryad. Got a bit overambitious, got away from me for a moment, took a bit more sweat and a bit more tweaking than usual. But I think it worked out in the end.

Stone. Gouache on paper. 4th one for #septempera. There's a village near where I live where there's this tree that awkwardly hugs the last remnants of a stone wall. I've been wanting to paint it for a while. And I took the chance to put in a tiny homage to a favorite of mine, Rien Poortvliet.

Painting of a twisting tree hugging some piled stones. A robin stands on top, little gnomes can be spied peeking through holes in the trunk.

Rat racer on a boulangerie run. A collaboration with @fpiatti.bsky.social who built & painted the car (and took these photos!) 💛 Tried a bunch of new things in terms of materials for this one! Really happy with how it turned out 😊

Thanks,Tom 💖 Not a lot of art making going on lately, but my midlife crisis has manifested itself in the form of model building, so there's that 😅

Probably doing #septempera again this year (my gouache September challenge), but I'm trying to figure out the best way to go about it. I know I don't want to do it daily (aiming for 8-12 paintings maybe?), but I might do a very open-ended list for it... 🤔 This little bug is from the 2020 edition.

Federico made me realize I never made any art based on Lonesome Dove - one of my favorite books - so today I drew this Janey to rectify this terrible overlook on my part. I always find it hard to draw stuff from the books I love most, I tend to feel I fall short.

Rabbit hole. Experimenting a little: pastels and crayons and color pencils on paper. Painting this one bigger than usual and it really helped with the chunkier marks.

Saddened to learn of the passing of the great #GaryKelley —a huge inspiration for me. We own two of his pieces—this is one, called “The Three Mikes”. His shapes, textures, compositions, and mood are always lingering in the back of my artist brain. Warm thoughts to his family, friends, and fans. #
