A Thankful Day

It’s my birthday today and I’d like to take this opportunity to convey my thankfulness and good wishes to all of the amazing people in my life—including family, friends, collectors, employees and our Gallery owners all across the country!

Birthdays mark the pass of time, but they also represent so much more. For over a half century, I’ve strived to compose a life of love, light and creativity. Balancing a life is not all that different from balancing the compositional elements in a painting. The very choices that contribute to creating a picture of harmony on a canvas can help me move closer to harmony in my daily life. I’m still learning and growing in so many ways, and I know that this will never change. Life is a series of transformations and I can’t wait for the next chapter in my life.

Thanks so much and God bless you all.

HAPPY B-DAY Thom!!!!!!

I love your artwork and always have. It has helped give me peace in my heart during times of tragedy and turmoil. You remind me of home (where I grew up) and give me a nostalgic feeling every time I look at your paintings. Your work reminds us Who is in charge of everything and of the beauty He put all around us - if we would only be still and see it.

I hope you have a truly wonderful day today Thom!!!

God Bless!!

Well, happy birthday!!! I love your comments about the transitional elements in a painting being similar to life. I may not "know art", but I do know that your paintings speak volumes to me and can transport me another place. Thank you for that blessing and God Bless!!!

Dear Thomas,
I have always enjoyed your artwork over the years. I especially enjoy your bridgework. I live near the capital of PA, Harrisburg. We have the longest stone arch bridge in North America. It is called the Rockville Bridge, near Fort Hunter historical site.
I always have dreamed of having an oil painting of this bridge. I have many pictures that i have taken over the years with the changing seasons. The bridge crosses over the Susquehanna River that the Pennsylvania Railroad uses daily.
I was wondering if you would consider coming to this area and painting a picture of this beautiful stone bridge? I would love to have an oil painting of yours with this old stone bridge.
Please let me know. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Ozzie
