Original oil on canvas
by Tom Hass entitled Walls of Echo measures 11.5"x11.5" Bio- Painter Tom Haas offers views of the American landscape, particularly the Southwest. Sometimes other subjects appear in his work such as small towns or early pueblo life to ranches and animals. His brush strokes portray light, form, color and atmosphere in addition to allowing the viewer to see the process of painting. He often works en plein aire, a French term for in the open air. The National Park Academy of the Arts recognized Tom Haas as "being in the top echelon of representational artists working today", with its Award For Excellence in 2002, 2003 and 2004. Home National Bank acquired two paintings by Haas for their offices in Scottsdale, Arizona in 2002. And the year before, MBNA America Bank collected more than 30 paintings by this artist. The U.S. Department of State's regional office in Vienna, Austria, introduced one of Haas' Southwest landscape paintings to a global audience with its 2004 calendar. That painting was, also, published on the cover of the Geneva Art In Embassies catalog and is one of two oils by Haas now on exhibit at The Residence of the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, Geneva, Switzerland. As a result, Tom was a guest at The White House, Washington, D.C., in 2004. Tom Haas studied oil painting with many North American painters, such as Duane Bryers, Len Chmiel, William Reese, Mark Daily, George Strickland, Dan Mieduch and James Reynolds, at the Scottsdale Artists School where Haas also became a painting instructor.
