tom hilborn - the countryside

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.
