Tom Blood
Piece description from the artist
A puppy sits inside a basket as it soars above the clouds, up and into the sky. The puppy seems to be enjoying its ride and has no concerns about when he might touch down again. It's a fun, fanciful painting that was fun to do and the title of the painting adds another element of fun to the equation. When a puppy is born and then chosen by a new owner, it has no idea where it's going … or what adventures await. That's what this painting is all about!
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.
