About The Artist:
    Tom Bluemlein, past President of the American Impressionist Society, is today’s counterpart to the 19th century European master. He was just elected President of the Cincinnati Art Club. He is a signature member of the Oil Painters of America, a member of Indiana Plein Air Painters & The Society of Marine Artists. He is a native Kentuckian and has studied with masters in Woodstock, NY; Cincinnati, OH; & Santa Fe, NM. Tom celebrates nature, capturing the beauty of the landscape and life force of the creation. He captures the spirit of the locale, not just the natural elements on view within the canvas. His palette highlights earthly hues with bold colors creating a homogenous presentation of sky, water and land. A true impressionist, he masters the power of light with a stroke and jot of his brush to capture a strong focused light.
