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.

How lovely she is, you have captured a softness and vulnerability in the expression on her face.
Your skin tones and shadeing are beautiful as always and I love the colour of her eyes.
Polka dots ... the pattern on her dress?
xoxoxo ♡
Hi Diane,
Thank you for your interest in my art.
My work is for those who are interested in depth and richness versus a "quick snack."
The paintings hopefully have not only "bandwidth" but "band depth" as well. Pity photos do not capture it.
Your thoughts and sensitivity to subtlety and depth in a fast-forward world is most welcome and rare.
Yes polka dots are in her frock as well as her ear rings and eyes
Cheers,
Painter.
I always like to study an image and yes you do capture the depth which cannot be achieved in a photo ... I enjoy looking at your art.
I did notice the reflection in her soft brown eyes and I did enlarge the painting so that I could see her earrings, I thought they might be either sparkling diamonds or pale blue sapphires, they are a lovely addition.
xoxoxo ♡
