ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Book of Dunes shows the deep appreciation Tom has for Chinese calligraphy and the Literati painters. On the right side of the painting is a figure of a woman handled in the Sumi-E ink style. On the beach in the background are a horse and rider. The sky is painted in a sweeping blue swath. Tom cuts his stencils with delicate precision and often uses them several times on different paintings and in several different ways. He wants folks to get a feeling of story and to find their own images as they look more closely. The sides of the painting are finished with a hemp covering which is glued and then painted. This process is unique to Tom's work and creates a sturdy, protective surface.

Thomas Merwin
United States
(Tom was featured in the June 2018 issue of Art New England, see website for review more about Tom and videos.) Born and raised in Brooklyn, Tom has been painting for nearly 50 years, studying first at The Art Students League and later working at the Metropolitan Museum. After retiring from the FDNY he and family moved to Castleton, Vermont. His great love of nature led him to explore and sketch the Catskills, Adirondacks and later, the intimate landscapes of Vermont. He holds a particular fascination for the Poultney River with its secretive swimming holes and deeply carved gorge. He frequently sketches there using Sumi-e techniques with his ink and Japanese brushes on rice paper as well as photographing the area both above and below the water!
