Tom
I, too, am an admirer of your work and I look forward to hearing more about how you craft a painting.

Welcome Tom,
I also look forward to your input on the forum.
Love your songs too! Wish there was a way that audio could be posted so that everyone could hear the songs that you treated us with at the conference!

Tom,
You could certainly post the lyrics to that one song - was it Portrit Artist Blues? (misspelling of "portrit" is intentional)

Lyrics to "Portrit" Paintin' Blues by Thomas Nash
I' d be happy to post the lyrics. It should be noted that the three songs on the CD were written especially for other artists. For non portrait painters some of the references may be a bit "inside" but hey, why not have our own songs? It was nice to see how much everyone at the Washington Conference seemed to enjoy them.
I should also add, that I'm very glad that I'm a portrait painter, in fact I tried to make that clear in the final verse. In 35 years I've seen it all and I'm still smiling. This song is tongue in cheek and not intended to give the detractors of our favorite form of art any more ammunition!
Tom

Dear Tom,
How very nice to see you on line! Having purchased your CD in Reston (only after I realized that I laughed harder the second time I heard it), I am looking forward to playing it for my portrait class, whcih starts Tuesday morning.
I really look forward to your participation in the Forum!

Tuesday Morning
OK Chris, so when we start your Tuesday morning class at Scottsdale Artists' School, we get to hear the Portrait Paint'in Blues. How exciting. (I plan to be there early, so I can hear what I couldn't hear on my Mac.) See you on Tuesday morning...do you want a latte?

I'm getting new inspiration for the next CD
Thanks Chris,
I really had fun with the songs. I have several more that I didn't have time to record on that CD plus I've been working on some new ones. Should be ready before Dallas.
After reading Blake Gopnik's uninformed and erroneous critique of my painting in the W. Post I have a funny feeling that an "Art Critic" song can't be too far off!! WADAYATHIINK?
I'll be spending a week Plein Air painting soon. I'm going to be extra careful to watch my step as I carry my easel across the cow pasture,. (I think I'm hearing my next musical creation already,) "Don't Step in the Gopnik"
