In the realm of art, I stand so tall,
Thomas F Carlos, spreading colors to all.
From San Jose, California's heart,
A native artist, playing my part.

From Navy Seabee, to draftsman true,
In Silicon Valley, my dreams grew.
Forty-five years, designing with glee,
Till retirement whispered, "Art, sets you free!"

Self-taught I am, with brushes in hand,
Creating wonders, since my childhood began.
With technical flair, my art does shine,
Imagination and vision, will truly combine.

In the realm of art, I stand so tall,
Thomas F Carlos, spreading colors to all.
From San Jose, California's heart,
A native artist, playing my part.

From Navy Seabee, to draftsman true,
In Silicon Valley, my dreams grew.
Forty-five years, designing with glee,
Till retirement whispered, "Art, sets you free!"

Self-taught I am, with brushes in hand,
Creating wonders, since my childhood began.
With technical flair, my art does shine,
Imagination and vision, will truly combine.

Art is my joy, it sets my soul free,
Where fantasies dance, wild and carefree.
Emotions take shape, in colors and lines,
A language of visions, in artistic designs.

No copies for me, I'm a diverse soul,
Inspired by artists, who've reached their goal.
Landscapes, seascapes, creatures in flight,
My brush brings them alive, oh what a sight!

Childhood memories, of a magical place,
With ranches and creeks, it’s nature's embrace.
Now I wander the hills, seeking true inspiration,
For my art, a gift, a soul's celebration.

Commissions I pass, for my art is a voice,
A spiritual path, is where I rejoice.
Driven by love, my heart's pure desire,
Sharing my passion, sets my soul on fire.

When hearts find solace, in the strokes I make,
There’s a piece of my essence, in the things I create.
Beyond my time, on this earthly plain,
My art's legacy, shall forever remain.
