Yet\, it is not only the world around me with which I am put in touch\, but also the world inside of me. As an artist\, I have chosen to express myself through the language of paint. Stirred emotions are the essential beginnings of that language. It is my hope that my paintings will echo that emotional response and the viewer will share in my spirited statements.  \nTom Francesconi\, aws\, nws\, twsa (master)  \nTom Francesconi studied watercolor at the American Academy of Art in Chicago.
