Steve Thoms Paintings

British artist Steve Thoms rolls out an inviting magic carpet of dazzling red poppies in a gilded field in "Field of Red and Gold." Influenced by the emotive American Impressionist style of Edward Hopper, Thoms dramatizes poppies, his favorite subject with expert application of vivid light and deep pools of shadow. Painting chiefly in oils, Thoms expertly uses simple elements that expressively convey a country's distinctive personality.
