Description: "I grew up on the edge of the Park. I tourtured the golfers stealing their balls off the 1st tee. Selling them at the clubhouse before they finished. I also tourtured Mr. Crawford with a million questions about dinosaurs and fossils."

Bio: Lohre learned by living with a master portrait painter, Ralph Wolf Cowan. Searching for new subjects, he painted the eruption of Mount Saint Helens while it happened from life, twenty miles to the south on Tum Turn Mountain. He also painted the first space shuttle from life, 200 'feet from it, under armed guard, the day before it took off. Besides painting portraits, Tom paints scenes from life during his travels.
Tom has taken up painting with Crayola crayons by melting them onto paper that sits on a hot plate, like the type you cook pancakes on. You set the temperature to just what you need to melt through light or heavier paper or canvas. You can use the old-time warming tray like your grandmother used and easily picked up at the thrift store. It’s the perfect temperature for melting crayons on regular copy paper. In this new series, Tom is using only the straight Crayola crayons. The colors are bold and dark, that’s why this new series shows nighttime paintings with the full moon. Tom has gone on to perfect a better palette mixing Crayola crayons with white Cray-pas oil pastel giving a lighter palette. Tom is sticking with straight Crayola crayons in this series to introduce the manner to children since the old-time warming tray cannot burn you and it’s perfect for children. The increased effectiveness in melting Crayola crayons is shocking, bold and nothing like drawing with crayons. You’ll never go back to just drawing with crayons once you’ve tried this new manner. Tom started looking into melting crayons on a heated surface while building a machine that painted.
