Tom Nachreiner – stunning paintings! Sometimes it’s tough to choose just one image… I had my heart set on Sunrise Mist – I mean, whoa a beautiful sunset, a magnificent tree… what’s not to love, right? Then I saw Jumping BFF – and it took me back to another place and time. As kids we used to jump into the river all day long. Literally. While the river was not off of a cliff or rock formation seeing these figures jumping is exactly what we used to do. I love the bit of abstractness to the water and background while grounding the painting so you truly know what’s going on. This is fabulous!
Jumping BFF (and many other paintings) are available via the Edgewood Orchard Galleries in WI!
