By permission of the artist, The Cyber Art Show is pleased to feature the first of two 12-piece exhibitions of works by American 

landscape painter Tom Lockhart (born 1953 in Monte Vista, Colorado).

​

Colorado native, Tom Lockhart, was born and raised in the heart of the San Luis Valley in Southern Colorado. Tom’s love for nature and the outdoors is evident in his paintings. Striving to convey a feeling of light and atmosphere is always a challenge for any artist but for Tom it is even more challenging because he works in oils, pastels, and watercolors. Tom looks to the Old Masters and great painters of the late 19th and early 20th century for inspiration in his own work. 

​

Tom is a Signature Member of the North Western Rendezvous group (NWR) in Helena, MT. Lockhart was a featured seminar presenter for the NWR during the 28th Annual Western Rendezvous of Art in Helena, Montana, 2006. Said Tom, “It was truly an honor to speak and demonstrate to fellow artists such as Matt Smith, George Strickland, John Budicin, Jim Wilcox, Greg Beecham, and many others artists and patrons of such notoriety.”  

 

Tom is also a Signature Member of Oil Painters of America and won the First Place Award of Excellence and the Patron’s Choice Award for the OPA in 2005.

​

Tom has participated in many shows and outdoor painting events including the Telluride Plein-Air Festival, the Sedona Plein-Air Festival and the Rocky Mountain Plein-Air (RMPAP) events (which are both Signature and National shows). Tom is a Signature Member of RMPAP.  He won the RMPAP Award of Excellence in 2004, 2003, and 2002. He was the recipient of the Director’s Choice Award in 2003. Tom won the Award of Excellence at the Telluride Plein-air Festival Chosen by Southwest Art Magazine. He also received the Best of Show at the 16th Annual Colorado Watercolor Society’s “Summer of Watercolor” Exhibition 2007.  
 

Tom has participated in the Cheyenne Frontier Days Western Art Show since  2006. He has also been included in the C.M. Russell Auction for many years. Tom was chosen for the Top Mini 100 Finals at the Arts for the Parks 2006. He is the recipient of many awards including Winner of Region III for the Top 100 in Arts for the Parks both in 2004 and 1994.
