Westerns by Tom Mitas
Howdy from the LeRoy Collins Leon County Public Library System! We are thrilled to welcome local artist Tom Mitas as he exhibits his collection of Western themed paintings featuring cowboys, cattle, and horses.
Artist biography: Tom Mitas moved to Tallahassee in 2005 after accepting a contract with the Florida Department of Health to develop computer software. He bought a home and fell in love with the community: the closeness and wide open spaces, the greenery, animals, seashore, and friends he made. Tom drew often as a teenager and young adult, even while in the US Marines, but as an adult, his children, family, and work took priority. He did some wood carving and began to paint a few years ago after his wife gifted him an easel. He took classes in Havana and at the Tallahassee Senior Center, becoming enamored with oil and acrylic painting. Several of his pieces won awards at the Tallahassee Senior Center and North Florida Fair.
This ace-high exhibit will be on display at the Eastside Branch Library from October 16th through November 30th, 2024.
