St. James the Greater After Leonardo

This artistic study of “St. James the Great After Leonardo” is much like another painting of Tom’s, also named with the same name, St. James the Great After Leonardo.

The drawings of Leonardo da Vinci were a great influence to Tom during the years when he focused on the classical Renaissance saints.

In this painting, the face of the saint is embedded in the moon, within the night sky.  Themes of nature and the world around us can be viewed in the painting and the theme of the circularity within life which emerges in recent years in his new art work can already be seen.

This is an acrylic painting on masonite board by Tom.

This piece of art is called Earth & Chaos.  Chaos which surrounds nature, the earth.

A landscape painting of “The Countryside” by Tom Hilborn.  This is Tom’s vision of the countryside around London, Ontario, Canada.

This abstract painting shows a view across a river, the blue sky littered with its white clouds, the forest and rock formations along the river.

Closer to the river, we imagine the land dissected in a cross section,  a dead fish perhaps, buried on its way through history to becoming a fossil for future generations to find.

It is not only the saints of heaven and the hards of American rockabilly, but also nature which holds a fascination for Tom, a fascination which is found in so many of his paintings throughout his life.
