artists statement

Art has been my life-long pursuit. I have worked in several mediums: clay, silver, encaustic and oil painting. My current works are oil paintings; some pleine aire landscape, some portrait and studio work of varying subject matter. I have continued to make art simply for the pleasure of seeing the creation and to satiate my own desire to make a beautiful mark. My style and techniques have an evolution that I intend to follow without boundaries. I want to make art that looks into the horizon and hears the cocktail chatter of a flock of snow geese and walks on the marshy edges.

I often sell my paintings and although I do not have a representative currently, some of the paintings are hanging for sale in my home town of Mount Vernon at Embellish, 511 So. 1st St, and Pacioni's Resturant, 606 S 1st St. If you have a question or inquiry about a work you see, I can best be reached by email at: tom@thpickett.com . Hope you enjoy my website.
