A veteran weary from trial and tribulation much as I am with everyday challenges, I drew this to express the feelings welling up entering a new job, with a new title. A young child fears the light from a door, is it opening to allow monsters in, closing to leave him alone... me was also an opportunity which brought its own fear.
About Thom Slaughter
Navy Veteran – 1985-1996
As a self-taught charcoal artist, Thom’s natural ability and vision are reflected in his artwork familiarity. “My drawings tend to express what I am feeling. I love textures and people who have lived life. Emotions permeate my work. I am so grateful to show my work and receive feedback.
