This is down the street from where we live and it was one of those scenes, I felt, just had to be painted before it disappeared.
Red Bush on Ludlow, a plein air painting by artist Bill Tomsa, invites the viewer to walk into this scene of early light and shadows on a springtime morning and walk towards a beautiful bright red bush on a street called Ludlow. 8"x6" Acrylic on birch ply panel.

A couple weeks ago I was reminded of a favorite toy of mine - my Hot Wheels with the sections of orange plastic track you could build into whatever you could imagine. That sort of stuck in my head for a few days, and I started thinking about how some people plan their lives like they're building a track. The problem with that is, sometimes life throws you for a loop!

This piece is inspired by climate change, the sun, colors, flowers, nature, dragons, medieval illuminated manuscripts, flamingos, the earth, the unpredictable weather and photography. There is a story behind this artwork. The art is a Pandoras Box of chaos and beauty. The sun is abstract, using sculpting medium I created the face, part of it is shaped like a house and a windmill or air turbine. It has spikes. I am trying to describe and illustrate the scary weather that has been happening in recent years. The damage we are creating with our pollution, irresponsibility, greed and disrespect towards Mother Earth. The lashing out of the pop up storms and angry weather patterns. It is a constant battle. I collaged some prints of a photoshoot I took of Grand Basin at The St. Louis Art Museum, decoupaged and painted raindrops and tears on and for the the wind turbine. The house shape matamorphing into the sun is trying to describe overdevelopment and deforestation. The wind turbine is spiraling off of the sun creating turbulence and blowing the plants and scripted writing in a clockwise position. The illuminated lettering to the right says effeminate and is referring to the Earth Goddess. The flamingo has taken cover in the flower bush, and the dragon is waiting for all Hell to break loose. It is a surreal scene, made to make the viewer think and wonder. A little disturbing, yet not too disconcerting. The colorful paint reflects subsurface shallow obstruction, not acknowledging the obvious. This multimedia artwork was originally titled "Illuminated Sunface Floral", but after looking at it I saw other things happening that I did not know when creating it subconsciously. It is related to my Earths Tears painting.

This cute Pelican would perch on the post of an old pier waiting for food to swim by.
He didn't mind me getting up close to get photos of him to paint.

8 X 10 pastel landscape of something I saw while on a long walk in the hills last night. Memory painting. Too dark for photos, at least with the cheap little digital camera I have, and no streetlights, so too dark for sketching or note-taking. Magical night. Like this everywhere: in the hayfields, in the wild meadows, in the woods. . .

Framed by an embossed periphery of simply colorful flags and little circles, and inside a rippling pastel border transitioning from circle to square, breezy twisting ribbons twirl festively around an embellished symmetry of enthusiastic shapes and hues. A pale purple pastel pattern lurks lightheartedly in the background.

A casually spinning daisy-esque flower of unknown origin, with incandescent orange tips and an earthy green aspect surrounding the middle. A scenery of soft pastel prickles extending from peachy keen blossoms looms gently in the background.
From a photograph of bright yellow and fruity orange prickly pear cactus blossoms.
