New Hot Artist
Over the past two years I have been delighted to see the work of Artist R. Tom Gillean, represented by Greenwich Workshop. His latest work titled "In The Shadow Of the Sixth"is pictured here. I have always been fascinated with Tepees. There is something magical and captivating about them.
The simplicity of these paintings has increasing appeal to collectors of Western Art. I have been aware of his art since June of 2009. Each new release seems to sell out more quickly than the last since his edition sizes are quite small. This giclee is anticipated to have only 20 available in the large Museum Edition.
Another recent release is "Little Star People". This piece portrays the visit of Fireflies on a warm Summer night with the full moon rising over the mountain. I grew up in an area of the country where Fireflies were abundant. I loved to try to catch them and still can spend hours
watching them dance around the lawn.
I'm not sure if it was the memory of the Fireflies or my fascination with the Tepee, but I couldn't resist purchasing this one for my own art collection.
