PaintsbyTom

Painting runs in my family. My maternal Grandfather was an Italian immigrant, veteran, chemist and painter. He painted to work his way through college, and made his own paint. He even helped paint an image of St. Frances Xavier Cabrini for a church in Chicago. I hope to live up to his standards through my art. Many of my paintings are based on photographs I've taken on different trips to national parks, etc. I also find inspiration in Sacred Scripture and the beauty of Catholic Sacred Tradition.
