ArtistTom Wilson - Artist

Tom has studied painting at the Art Academy of Los Angeles, and the California Art Institute, in addition to extensive private study with the painter Arthur Egeli, in Pasadena, California. His colorful paintings of people, places, and things, all bathed in dazzling light, always seem to evoke a combination of happy smiles and joyful longing.

Classic, Moving Pictures

Here are some of my paintings, some of which will be available in prints soon. We'd love to get your feedback on any interest you might have in these paintings. If so, please drop us an email. Also, watch for an exciting new line of prints/posters coming soon!

Sunlit Span
Sunlit Span (16x20) SOLD

In my opinion (and the opinion of almost every landscape painter in the history of Southern California) this arroyo, and the Colorado Street Bridge that spans it, is the most beautiful area in the Southland, as long as you don’t count that big Pacific ocean over there. Hiking under the bridge leads you through a park dedicated to “roving archers,” who walk around with bows and arrows, shooting at targets through the trees. I survived the archers, figuring out a way to somehow paint as loudly as possible.

 Cattle Drive
Cattle Drive (36x48) SOLD

This is a painting done on commission. The collector wanted a big painting of a cattle drive, and I remembered a story told to me by my friend, the world champion rodeo cowboy and Academy award winning actor, Ben Johnson, about a cattle drive he worked, along with Howard Hughes, who wanted to go along and ride with the cowboys, driving the cattle all the way to a movie set. “He used ‘ta slip hunnert dollar bills in our jacket pockets and such,” Ben said, “So us cowhands got to likin’ that Howard Hughes purdy good."
Madison
Madison (16x20)

This is a portrait of my beloved dog, Madison. In the late afternoon sunlight, her coat shimmers more shades of gold than Fort Knox. I must have used every yellow and orange on my palette.

 Saddle Bronc
Saddle Bronc (16x20) SOLD

I was working on another movie with Ben Johnson, my first western, playing his grandson, and we were out at a rodeo in the desert, surrounded by dust and cowboys. The cowboys said I looked big enough to try steer wrestling, but after I watched bull riding, calf roping, and saddle bronc, I think I’m a better candidate for a paint brush and a glass of iced tea.
Clayton Moore Offers The Mask
Clayton Moore Offers The Mask (24x24)

Clayton Moore was the actor that a generation made a pop cultural icon as The Lone Ranger. Late in his life, he was sued by the company that owns the rights to the Lone Ranger, forcing him to take off the mask. I’ve taken the liberty of presenting Mr. Moore on horseback, his features hidden, offering the mask to anyone with the courage to accept it.

 The Arroyo
The Arroyo (12x16)

I included the path for roving archers in this painting. After pulling several arrows out of my legs and back, I finished the gorgeous sunlit hills and headed home.
Still Life
Still Life (16x20)

Though I don’t pretend to paint an apple like Cezanne, I like how these apples turned out.

 The Colorado Street Bridge
The Colorado Street Bridge (16x20)

A different view of the bridge, with the purple and pink colors near sunset. I love the arroyo, and the bridge is an historic and graceful span, a reminder of the gentle, artistic approach of generations past, before everything was knocked down and made into a “mission style” Jiffy Lube.
