Welcome to the Tom Fagan blog!


Hi, I'm Tom Fagan, I am a San Diego based fine artist specializing in Plein Air, people, places and events. My mediums include oils, acrylic, water color, charcoal, pen & ink etc.. I love to paint events as they take place without using a photograph. Just paint as the scene develops. My Live Event Artist website showcases my wedding and event work.

Tom Fagan painting on Fifth Ave captured live

A candid photo taken of me last Friday while I was busy at work painting the Grirardelli's painting.

Tom Fagan Live Painting with little girl Downtown

Last Friday, when I was painting in the Gaslamp, a little girl and her father were walking by and the little girl took notice of me painting and was very interested in what I was doing. So with a little guidance, I let her contribute to the painting and put her own creativitity onto the canvas.
