Painter Tom Haas offers a compelling view of the American landscape, particularly the southwest. His brush strokes portray light, color, form, and atmosphere as well as the textural process of painting. Tom often works en plein air, a French term for painting in the open air. The National Park Academy of the Arts recognized Tom Haas as “being in the top echelon of representational artists working today” with its Award For Excellence in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Home National Bank acquired two paintings by Haas for their offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, in 2002. And the year before, MBNA America Bank collected more than 30 paintings by this award-winning artist.

Garden Entry 24" x 24" oil painting by Tom Haas

Early exposure to paintings by N.C. Wyeth ignited Tom’s drive and confidence to learn about art and express himself visually. Versatile and prolific, Haas is inspired by time spent outdoors capturing nature’s light, color, and form. He also enjoys the process of creating abstract paintings, which tap into his sense of design and expert use of materials. Tom says, "The practice of outdoor painting helps me see and portray a sense of place, even when painting indoors. While drawing and experimenting in the studio, prepare me for the challenge of working quickly en plein air--capturing light and shadows before they change."
