A Return Once Promised - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - Here, we witness a journey that lives up to a promise once made in the name of true love. The golden light of the moon leads a great ship returning from a long, challenging journey into the small channel where a heart patiently awaits the return of its captain. Moments from now, the castle will be filled with the joyful cries of love reunited once again.

All Lei's Returned - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - This painting comes from the stories from countless submariners I met in Hawaii. The stories came in to me about how the sea life followed the Navy subs...whales seemingly "falling in love" with the familiar shape of the subs and dolphins playing in the wakes and following them for many miles under the sea. So I choose to believe and celebrate this idea.

Another Man's Treasure - by Tom Thordarson of THOR ART - They say "what is one man’s junk, is another man’s treasure.” This painting is a parody on pirates taking another man's treasure. In this case, the story illustrates a lesson on how values change in different circumstances in life.

Her grace and beauty poised proudly as she swirls her shimmering tail through the lacy foam of the shoreline breakers.
