A signed copy of the 'On the Edge of Twilight' book featuring more than 60 paintings is also available, for more information - CLICK HERE   Tom was born in the City of London in 1960. After studying, he lived and worked in West Dorset. During this time he used a beach hut as a studio, painting the light and changing atmosphere of Lyme Bay. Discovering the Cornish Coast on a walking holiday in 1982 he realised a yearning to live and work close to a rugged and romantic coastline. Eventually, in 1992 he moved to West Penwith and fulfilled this dream - to sit on the edge of a vast ocean and paint its moods and splendour. Tom also works in the Scottish Highlands, Nantucket Island USA and Sicily. Although an accomplished landscape painter he is drawn towards the simple minimalism of the subject of the sea and sky, making his point of interest the horizon, where these two elements are compressed. Tom exhibits widely in the West Country, London and the USA.   Corner Light oil on canvas 137 x 142cm   Over Carn oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Dusking East oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Asparagus Island - Kynance oil on board 137 x 142cm   Great Cloud oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Lost Cloud oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Sent light - Tresco Down oil on canvas 76 x 127cm   From Land oil on canvas 92 x 137cm   Quiet Sun oil on canvas 92 x 137cm   Mount Clusters oil on canvas 30 x 41cm   Clouds from North oil on canvas 92 x 137cm   Dunster Castle oil on canvas 61 x 92cm   Through Red oil on canvas 137 x 142cm   Two Lights oil on canvas 137 x 142cm   Cusp oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Before Dark oil on canvas 137 x 142cm   Half Light oil on canvas 102 x 107cm   Yellow over Pink oil on canvas 97 x 92cm   Flux I oil on canvas 52 x 72cm   To view further paintings please CLICK HERE
