Portrait by Tom Slack

A farmer, viewing my painting of field corn at harvest time commented, “I never thought of corn as something beautiful enough for a painting!” I want my viewers to journey into a painting then return—changed—seeing a different, more beautiful world.

The couple who bought VIEW FROM LAKE POWELL relived their trip there, the fun, the beauty, as they viewed the painting. It’s like we were there together for a moment. Art can keep a moment in time, a place, a dream or concept.
