"I am a story teller. I tell stories with my paintings, of places I have been and things I have seen. I believe that a painting should not only tell a story, but should have a story behind it. All my paintings do."  Tom Jones 2007     "I paint the landscape because it is disappearing so fast. In the future there may be no landscape or wilderness painters because there may be no wilderness left. - "how sad, how terribly sad". Let's work together to insure this does not happen. Tom Jones 2007  About Tom "Tom Jones is a painter who possesses such power that by dipping his brushes in colored water only he gives us the feeling of being before Nature itself. Master of his craft, he obtains extremely difficult effects such as moving our soul at the sight of a beam of sunlight piercing through the foliage of the forest. That is magic; That is a great painter." Pablo Sansegundo-Castaneda (artistic grandson of Joaquin Sorolla)   A resident of Central Florida, Tom has been commissioned by government agencies, corporations, environmental groups, clubs, and private collectors. In answer to popular demand, he typically produces his watercolor landscapes in a series of three or five paintings around a specific theme. His art can be found internationally in many private and corporate collections, including commissioned paintings displayed in the Florida State Capital Building, Walt Disney World Corporation, Marriott Corporation, and the Omni Corporation. Tom's work has been featured in many books and on magazine covers as well as posters and brochures. Tom shares his passion for art and love of nature with students of varying skill levels through nationwide workshops, demonstrations, and instructional videos.
