Piece description from the artist
A stack of rounded stones stands tall on a rocky landscape, topped by a glass containing a golden-brown liquid, possibly whiskey, capturing a sense of balance and stillness. The background features a tranquil sea fading into a soft sky, adding to the serene atmosphere. I hope people aren't offended that I chose to place a glass of whiskey (or scotch if you like) on the rocks on top of a cairn. I'm not implying that a scotch on the rocks delivers any kind of Zen like feeling (though some might say it does!). I was simply trying to paint a visual metaphor. This would make for a great painting or print to have in a den, bar area, man cave or anywhere that a glass of whiskey or scotch on the rocks might be enjoyed.
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.
