Torches of August

Painting by Troy Thomas: Torches of August

I finished this small painting about a week and a half ago. I went out of town for a week, so I wasn't able to post this until now.

This painting measures 14" x 11", and was painted with Liquitex Super Heavy acrylic paints on stretched canvas. The initial design sketch was created back in February or March, but I didn't start painting it until a few weeks ago. The sides of this piece is not painted, so I will need to find a frame that will compliment the colorful geometric shapes. I have titled this painting, "Torches of August".


Title:   Torches of August
Size:   14" X 11"

Self Spoon Portrait

Troy Thomas art painting, watercolor, Self Spoon Portrait
This is a painting I did during my high schools years. It was done in the summer of 1990, using watercolors on watercolor paper that measures just under 15"x22". I had previously won a local art contest and the prize was some art classes. This painting was one of the products of that class. It is of a spoon with a reflection of myself in it. If you ever look at your reflection in a spoon, it is upside down. Go ahead - grab a spoon and give it a try!
