About Me
- Name: painter
- Location: Florida, United States
I mean by a picture, a beautiful romantic dream of something that never was, never will be - in a better light than any light that ever shone - in a land that no-one can define or remember, only desire - and the forms divinely beautiful" - Edward Coley Burne-Jones Thomas Groth is an uncommon figure artist. A classically trained draftsman, Groth works in pastel, oil, charcoal or prismacolor. His paintings recall the lush colors and figure work of the Pre-Raphaelites. The figures exist neither in the past nor the present; they are archetypes occupying a timeless world. Here is a world of tranquility, harmony, dreams and dreamers. Figures of sensuous innocence live here - geishea, mermaid, angels and daydreamers. The art bids one to stop for a moment, to push pause and then move on refreshed-a respite in an often overloaded, time-poor world. Groth's references points are primarily late 19th and early 20th century painters and movements including J.W. Waterhouse, Robert Henri, the Pre-Raphaelites, the Newlyn School.

Well dear Painter thankfully it seems at last that your blog problems have been resolved, I hope they remain so, it would be such a shame to lose all of the beautiful paintings that you have posted so far.
I was trying to leave a comment before to congratulate you on the beauty of the painting you now have as your blog header, it is beautiful and I love it.
The loveliness of the female form, her translucent skin, the movement of her flowing hair and the beauty of her breasts covered discretely yet revealed in a subtle way by the sheerness of the silken fabric ... she is your Venus. xoxoxo ♡
Hello Dianne,
Thank you so much again for your kind words and elegant eye. I am delighted you enjoy the images.
Yes, the blog is back up but there are several other technical issues I am trying to work out between E-blogger and Google. I do have a love/hate affair with computers.
Cheers,
Painter
