JB – What’s a retired aerospace engineer like you doing making art in Orange County?
TW – We all come to art from many different beginnings. I started painting in watercolor about 35 years ago, after I graduated from college, and fell in love with it. Painting was an escape from my technical side, more like play. Then I began taking art courses every semester – art history, drawing, design, photography – it all kept growing and inspiring me to continue. (more…)

Thom Wright and maybe several other SCA members will be showing two paintings in the new year's exhibition at the Huntington Beach Art Center, "Centered-on-the-Center".   Opening reception is Jan 31, 6-9 pm.  This is the big open show of the year, and up to 1500 attendees will be coming.  Hope to see some of you there.   ThomForest Warning #1sm 2014

ART STATEMENT – TREES
Thom Wright  2013

Big trees have long inspired humans beyond the utilitarian resource they provide.  Their spirit is uplifting; they grow in annual cycles, becoming massive, towering and long lived wonders. There is extraordinary strength in their limbs and branches, and yet they rhythmically move with the wind.  Each is unique, yet is constantly changing with time and season.  They thrive with earth, water and sun to benefit man and the environment, and symbolically they join the earth with the sky.  In my Cubist and expressionistic painting style, I paint abstractions of these qualities of trees.
