2 Framed Tom Lohre Mixed Media Paintings "Palm Beach"

Description: Professionally framed art by American Artist Tom Lohre. These paintings are both of Palm Beach Florida, Titled "Colony" and "Palm Beach" Signed by artist on front, with his personal information handwritten on the back. Framed, they are 14" X 16" X 1.7/8" deep, the painted canvas is 10" X 7 7/8" Beautifully executed by the artist and masterfully framed. These paintings will no doubt increase in value due to the subject matter, the technique and popularity of this artist, who joined Fine Art America on November 1st, 2020. I have included a message I received from the artist asking about the painting, see last picture. "Tom Lohre learned by living with master portrait painter, Ralph Wolf Cowan. Tom painted the hands, animals, pants, etc. that the master did not care to paint while cooking and cleaning. They used the traditional method of the Art Students League of New York City. Ralph studied there for about a month in 1962 before setting off on his own. Tom studied there about a month in 1979 until Ralph moved to New York City and into Tom's apartment at 89 Christopher Street. Times were tough, Ralph was diving into drinking more and more and they shared their last dime for Ralph to call an old patron to borrow some money. Ralph had a field day at Boot's and Saddles trying to convince everyone he was so famous. Ralph sobered up in Palm Beach and Tom came down to help in the studio.Searching for new subjects, Tom painted the eruption of Mount Saint Helens while it erupted from life, twenty miles to the south on Tum Tum Mountain. He also painted the first space shuttle from life, 200 'feet from it, under armed guard, the day before it took off. He continued to paint major events by attending the Jet Propulsion Laboratory with press credentials to paint the planets as Voyager II encountered Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. What he discovered was painting a major event does not make a great painting.After graduating from college at Northern Kentucky University 1976 with a degree in Communications, he worked on Madison Avenue in advertising. He quit after the first year. Slowly he became a working fine artist living in New York City for twenty years before moving back home to Cincinnati. He met his wife on a return home visit and she did not want to travel the nomadic circuit of Nantucket, New York and Palm Beach painting for the wealthy. He continues painting portraits, genre and radical impressionist paintings." I ship exactly what is shown in the photos, so buy with confidence.
