Best Friends by Tom Sierak 2010 Wall Calendar

Painting Tomorrow's Memories Today. That's how Tom Sierak likes to describe his pastel paintings. He says. "People often talk about the good old days and how nice it would be to return to them. In many ways, I think we are always living the good old days. Places and things may change around us, but the bond that exists between children, parents, grandparents (and even pets) never does." A native of Newburyport, Massachusetts, Tom attended the Vesper George School of Art in Boston, MA. During his art school training, he came to greatly admire artists such as Vermeer, Rockwell, Ingres, and others. He studied under accomplished artists/instructors, among them Paul Rahilly and Robert Douglass Hunter. Tom's medium of choice is pastels and he is one of the few figurative artists today who create such finished paintings with this somewhat unfamiliar medium. Being able to apply his drawing skills with the unlimited selection of colors pastels offer is an ideal combination for him. He paints subject matter ranging from children and pets, to family scenes involving parents, children, and grandparents, figurative romanticism and coastal landscapes.
