American Realism In Pastels... |
|
The
New Englander’s medium of choice is pastels. He feels that they’re just
starting
to
receive widespread recognition. Tom says, “I favor pastels because I’m
able to draw
and
color simultaneously, and I love to draw. It’s a great combination
for me.”
Pastels are made from the same pigments used
for oil paints. A binding
agent is added to create a chalk-like stick, which is applied to a textured
surface,
usually paper. Available in many vibrant colors, pastels maintain their
just-painted look indefinitely, unlike oils, which can crack and darken
over time. “It’s an unfamiliar medium
to
many people, and I’d like to do my part to help change that,” says Sierak.
A Graduate
of the Vesper George School in Boston, Tom has been the featured
cover story in The Artist’s Magazine. His paintings have appeared
on numerous
covers of Reminisce
magazine, a national publication with a nostalgic
theme, and
in Ideals magazine, which features art and poetry. In addition
to limited edition and
open edition prints, his work has also been published
on greeting cards, puzzles, and
collector plates worldwide, and a new hardbound gift book entitled,
“Giving Love A Memory”, featuring over 20 of his
paintings, is now available in
bookstores everywhere, including websites, Amazon.com
& Barnes
& Noble.
