Late in the Game, Original Painting

2024

Artist Comments
Light streams through the window as friends gather around a table, fully absorbed in their game. Much like the last hundred poker nights, they have been at it for hours, indulging in too much bourbon and countless bowls of Chex mix. In other words, it has been a fantastic time. Artist Keith Thomson employs oil and ink to create this painting.

About the Artist
Alabama-based artist Keith Thomson creates quick-witted, mixed-media artwork that blends realism and surrealism. His background as a political cartoonist in the 90’s is reflected in the sharp storytelling his artwork achieves. He combines stylized realism and everyday subject matter with surreal details and ironic twists. He begins his work as digital sketches using an animation software, then he transfers the sketch onto the canvas and begins applying oil paint. In addition to painting, he is a writer, of mostly spy novels and nonfiction articles. His writing prowess shines through in his witty descriptions of his pieces.
