Thomas Buchs
Industrial Impressionist Travel Mississippi River Fishing Bridge Sunrise Signed

2023

About the Item

"Mississippi Working Barge" is an original oil painting created by Thomas Buchs. This is a plein air painting that Thomas Buchs did on his travels. Buchs focuses on a fishing boat and a bridge spanning across the river. The use of orange and browns gives this piece an industrial feel. Buchs manages to catch the peak moment of sunrise where the orange of the sun fills the sky and scares off the last few remnants of night. The artist signed the bottom right of the piece. Artwork Size: 12" x 16" Frame Size: 18" x 22" Artist Statement: I attended Layton School of Art and became an Illustrator, creating artwork for advertising and childrens books for many local and national companies since 1972. During summers I exhibited at Art Fairs and also did Pastel Portraits. During the last 20 years I have been doing Plein Air Painting ( painting from life outdoors). Much of my current work is representative of this discipline. I try to capture the light and atmosphere of a scene within a few hours. I believe that a painting is not just a two dimensional illusion, but also that of a moment in life, captured by an artist on canvas. I am a founding member of Wisconsin Plein Air Painters Association. The WIPAPA has been established as a state wide fellowship of artists dedicated to promoting and practicing the traditional discipline of Plein Air painting. Members seek to honestly interpret the natural and man-made beauty and diversity of Wisconsin’s landscapes and culture. We will strive to enhance member’s skills and reputations by providing regular opportunities to paint outdoors together, and to critique our work and share our expertise with fellow artists in order to maintain the highest standards of the Plein Air tradition of painting. I have found that while doing a painting outdoors I am immersed in the moment, what I mean is that later when I look at the painting I can remember all the things that went on as I painted, the weather, the birds singing, a small animal moving through the scene, people who have stopped to talk to me. The memories are all part of the painting.
