Tommy Thompson - Other Form

Painting is so much a part of my everyday life that it would be difficult to live without it. Regardless of where I happen to be, I am driven to paint every day.  I've always been the kind who wanted to see what was around the next curve, over the next hill, or at the end of an interesting lane. Now I want to capture on canvas what I find on my journeys .  I ride the roads less traveled looking for the play of light and shadows on tranquil pastoral landscapes, beautiful horses, architectural structures, and people as they go about their everyday life. My goal is to create artwork that connects with people as it did one day when a lady told me, "I could not get your painting off my mind; I even dreamed about it."  I hope that my paintings add a sense of peace and serenity to the lives of my viewers.
