This image shows up all over the place, but I can never see it too much. Many of my favorite paintings of the '20s and '30s are sensual exotics—color saturated and contrasted color temperatures.
Oh, this makes me want to simplify my life and move to parts unknown. I don't know the painter or the year, but I feel like I've been there in some other lifetime.

My name is Thom Buchanan.
I'm an artist and photographer.
People are my favorite subjects to portray in art and photos. My wife (and studio partner) has called that my 'people skills', as I've been passionately creating portrait studies for many years.
I refer to myself as a pictorialist, a combination of image-making and journalist. Images are my life.
