TOM FUREY

Staying with the ideas of painting musical arts related images and images of women who have worked and served in many capacities in and around Bucks County I decided to paint the image. In the past I have given all the credit to my mother for raising me right with the proper values and morals. I truly believe the women in our country are not given enough recognition for their contributions in the workplace and at home. That probably hold true for the rest of the world also.

The Art of MUSIC has been a big part of my life since childhood. Every morning, I would wake to the sound of my mother singing all the classic children's songs as well as the days popular music. Just thinking about it makes me smile. This made my mornings wonderful and full of joy. My sister and I would dance and sing along with her. what a way to start your day.
This attitude stayed with me throughout my life. I listen to and play music all day. It doesn't matter what music either. I believe it inspires my oil painting. With that thought in mind I decided to paint this and more to come.

Another Bucks County Farm scene. This Oil Painting was inspired by Winslow Homers' painting "Boys in a Pasture". It also relates to my objective to paint what I have experienced. Scenes like this conjure up many memories of experiences in my life. Life was much easier when I was young. We needed less and appreciated what we had. Family!

This painting had some issues that I kept going back to make it better. I always have a vision of what the end product would look like. That is what I strive to achieve. Sometimes we fall short and have to try again. After three attempts I am happy with this result. My method of painting is somewhat abstract, so I don't see the entire painting until I step back, or I will take a photo and upload it to the computer to pick out any flaws. I really love painting the anatomy and all its complicated nuances. Enjoy!

I liked this image on many levels. The abstract nature of the shadows in the sand seem to tell a story of his exploration. The simple yet honest fascination children have while observing their own shadow is always amusing to me. In this Painting the boy seems frozen in time looking at the distorted shadow in the sand. It makes you wonder what amazing stories are coursing through his mind maybe images of Aliens or being Super Human etc. Anyway I look at it I SMILE. I hope you do too!

It was a beautiful summer day much like today. Karen and I took a nice stroll through the sidewalks of Lambertville, NJ. We were looking at all the interesting shops and grabbing a bite to eat. As we walk through the town, I am always looking for interesting architecture, windows, storefronts, signs, and people. I saw this gentleman completely absorbed by his phone. I watched for a few minutes before taking the photo. It is the bubble we fall into where nothing else exists. The whole world is going by, but we find ourselves in this digital world that we can control. The GREAT ESCAPE!

Sharing Lunch with friends is something I am missing terribly. This scene happened when Karen A Smith and I spent a day in Lambertville, NJ and ended up at one of my favorite eateries "Caffe Galleria". The people and service are great there. Oh yea "So is the Food!" It is a very relaxing atmosphere surrounded by beautiful Local Artwork.

Note: If this took place today you would have to space them and they all would be wearing masks. Pray for a vaccine quick!

Yes! It's that time of year again. The Easter Bunny is getting ready for the Holiday :) I see my favorite Cadbury Eggs in the Stores. My daughter - Theresa May - sent me a photo last year of the Bunny's helper. I LOVED this image of my granddaughter and asked my daughter if I could paint it. Enjoy the Easter Holidays with your Family :)

I was contacted by a friend to create an Oil Painting for an Auction to benefit Lambertville Historical Society. Loving the area I was glad to spend some time taking photos and grabbing a bite to eat in some of their great restaurants. The Lambertville, NJ. and New Hope, Pa. areas are a great place for Art and Artists. This Oil Painting is a scene from the Caffe Galleria at 23 N. Union St. Got great service. Karen and I shared this delicious vegetarian "Sticky Bun" with our coffee. Nice people at the restaurant :)

FINALLY FALL!!!!!!!
This Oil Painting is the result of an event day at the Historic Bolton Mansion in Holly Hill Section of Levittown, Pa. The Troop of Colonial Campers are from the Crossing Community Church. The Canvas Panel used to design this Original Oil Painting was supplied by a friend Anne Ditmar from Washington Crossing Community. The man with the cell phone is from a photo taken by Karen A Smith formally from Washington Crossing Community. Karen thought the combination of Old Colonial and NEW cell phone era made an interesting subject. Of course I agreed :) The rest of the composition and all artistic adjustments are made from me :) Not from the Washington Crossing Community but very happy to know and meet the wonderful people from that area of Pennsylvania. This was a quick sketch that turned out to be a finished Oil Painting.

Creating a new Original Oil Painting gives the Artist the freedom to make changes and adjustments. This Oil Painting was a challenge because I have not attempted this type of lighting situation. The dynamic motion of the Dancers along with the background creates the kinetic musical effect and jubilance of the moment. I hope you can feel the excitement of the performance. The audience seems to be in a trance.

As a young child sports were a big part of my life. I played team sports football, baseball and pick up basketball. Never was the best player, but I loved the game. As a parent I coached or assisted my son's teams and enjoyed teaching the children the game, not focusing on winning. Everyone got to play equally. The children on my team typically were the ones no one else wanted and could not see their possibilities. To my surprise the last season I coached the team, we won it all. This oil painting is my grandson and his friend warming up before the game. For the composition of this painting, I took advantage of the dynamics happening in the field and capitalized on their movement and positions. It really worked for me. Hope you like it too.

Guess what I finished on Labor Day! This Oil Painting is a Major piece for me. It is something that I can relate to since I worked in some capacity as a Steelworker for 42 years. I worked on this for awhile. I really wanted it to be what I experienced. I love these types of Oil Paintings. The men pictured in this photo are discussing how they can get the job they were given to complete safely.

This painting is completed and Titled: "Team Work" It shows a group of Steelworkers slinging a Gantry Crane part that has been unloaded from the large green ship in the background. This is a typical scene in industry and part of everyday work for these men to work together to get the job accomplished. Just the physical size and weight of everything they are handling makes this job dangerous. Toget...her they get in done. I hope to have more Steelworker paintings in the future. The size of this painting is 20.25 x 25.5" , Oil on Canvas, Price:$5000.00USD SOLD!.

SANTA CLAUS, Oil on Canvas, 18 x 24, Price: SOLD. Tis the Season. Merry Christmas to all my friends and family. I guess I do one Santa every year now. Last year my daughter requested a painting of Santa for Christmas for the family. This year I was trying to get in the Holiday spirit. Another fun project.

2016 Santa, 18 x 24", Oil on Canvas, SOLD. Love the Holidays and I have painted Santa 3 years in a row. Each one is different! It's a fun oil painting. Hope you like the finished painting.

The last 4 years I have painted an Oil Painting of Santa Claus. It started when my youngest daughter asked me to paint Santa. I really enjoy doing these paintings and they pretty much flow off the brush. This year I wanted to do something a little different. So I painted my Irish Santa. I wanted to give a feel of older and also some modern aspects of Santa. Don't know what will come next year. It will be something fun.

I took the time to take a better photo of the painting today. I'm still looking for a good title. Title: Theresas' Garden, 16 x 20" , Oil on Canvas. Another lost painting completed. I could use some help naming this painting. There is a long story about the purse on Theresas arm that I won't go into. The purse was her grandmothers and she took it everywhere. This composition is capturing Theresas First Garden on Horseshoe Lane . She worked on the garden with her maternal grandfather and was showing off the fruits of her labor. She grew the flowers also. So I need a name for the Painting . open to suggestions. I have a few but I would love to know what you think! There is a little more to the story! The purse belonged to my mother JUNE but the children called her "JUNEBUG" Theresa carried it everywhere she went. SOLD

This is an example of a type of painting I love to complete. I started by painting the entire canvas black. It was the first time I tried this method. It worked pretty well but I will have to wait for the painting to dry so I can varnish the finished canvas so the blacks will even out. Right now there are hot and dry spots in the black. I mix my black with Ultramarine blue and Burnt Umber. This photo needs color correction the face has more red in the cheek area. Well I wanted to share the finished painting today.
