I am drawn to water both the sea and Large Lakes. I am American New England watercolor artist, Tom Warner. I am a self-taught and have been very fortunate to have spent time with great artists along the way. When I paint a picture I am telling a story. The story may be hidden, but every painting has a story. I was fortunate to have been introduced to the late American artist Norman Rockwell and his storytelling ways.I paint many subjects including nautical, lighthouse, portraits, paintings of people, Native American, Spiritual andAmericana. Artists that have influenced me are Grandma Moses, Winslow Homer, and Louis Tauzin. In the end my style is Tom Warner. Above all I am drawn to water. The sea calls to me both the spirit of the water and the creatures within and those who walk the shore to listen, watch, and feel. Art is expressing ones soul and I give you mine in my work. An example of my work , Dolphins At Play was inspired after many times of seeing Dolphins in their natural habitat. Seeing them makes me feel so alive with the grace that they fly through the water. Art is an expression given from the soul it is a gift shared.
