Tom Yost Sold at Auction Prices

b. 1957 -

From Litchfield, Connecticut, Tom Yost is a painter whose subjects reflect in realist style his local rural landscape in Litchfield, County, Connecticut, which is traditional New England scene and reflects "working farms and open land."

He credits much of his skill to the education he has received over the years from restoring paintings. From looking at works by American Masters, he has learned which materials have the most endurance, and as a result he paints with oil on Belgium linen treated with traditional oil and quadruple-primed gesso.
