Piece description from the artist
As kids, we grew up hearing the phrase, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away." Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn't. But a big, red juicy apple is something to be enjoyed. So I decided to paint a giant red apple sitting on a cloud. Underneath, three children are gathered under an apple tree and a young girl is reaching for one of her own. As a print, this painting would look great in a child's room or a doctor's office! It is bright and cheery and almost seems as if it could be the cover of some children's book.
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.
