Tom has been referred to as one of the nation’s premier watercolorists. He has written 7 books and hosted several award winning PBS TV Art Series. He was recently listed as one of the nation’s top 20 teachers by a leading Art magazine. He is represented by some of the nation’s leading museums and art galleries. He has been the spokesperson for the entire National Art Materials Trade Association, and continues to be the international spokesperson for many leading art material manufacturers. Tom is currently featured on the new cable TV channel Visual Arts Network, and in 2007 he became the CMO and featured artist for Art Academy Live (the leading on-line education source).
With his uniquely styled landscape paintings, he strives for a level of excitement, movement and resonance that seems to push somewhere beyond what the environment naturally provides.
Tom’s list of credentials include: Two “Lifetime Achievement Awards”, “Signature Membership” in many national watercolor societies, election into the illustrious “Society of American Impressionists”, as well as “Who’s Who in American Art”. Tom has been the invited “guest artist” for many art exhibitions including Sedona Plein Air Festival. Tom was honored in the American Embassy in Paris, France with a one-man exhibition. He has been cited in numerous publications including American Artist Magazine, Southwest Art, International Artist Magazine, Art & Antiques, Today’s Great Masters, the Wall Street Journal, and the color front page every Christmas Day for a leading Illinois newspaper. Tom’s video production won a Bronze Award in the “Telly” Competition, which focuses on video production, and compares to the Academy Award Program. Some of Toms’ numerous awards include: “The Municipal Art League of Chicago Award of Excellence”, “Landscape Artist of the Year”, and he was the first American selected for Honorary Membership in the “Canadian Watercolor Society”. Tom has been the featured artist for the Men’s, Women’s and Seniors U. S. Open Golf Championships and several PGA events and tournaments. Much of his work has been published and many of his best paintings are available in Limited Edition prints. It is no surprise that his paintings are included in private and corporate collections throughout the world.
Lack of basic drawing skills, sloppy and amateurish brushwork, garish colors, primitive approach to the medium.
Better works by contemporaries: Cao Bei-An, Chien Chung-Wei, Liu Yi, Stanislaw Zoladz, Ross Paterson, Eugen Chisnicean, Joseph Zbukvic.

I can appreciate your input concerning watercolor artists, but I find it troubling that with all of the talent and acceptance by the art world and public that you are not humble enough to recognize that not everyone has the opportunity or the financial means to do what you do. At 67 years of age and only starting to do watercolors in my early 60’s I do not expect to be as good as you are. However, I also understand that a little gentleness with words would help those who like to paint with watercolors.

People, people. Settle down—–nobody has been fatally wounded, nobody is beyond criticism. The best kind of criticism is that which places the avowed better work alongside the avowed “less better” work. This has been done in addition to the presentation of specific critical descriptors. Evaluate the pictures using the models—-come to your own conclusion(s)–they may differ from the protagonist. The idea is to LEARN—–anybody can be defensive.
