Following in the footsteps of many other painters, Tommy Thompson was an architectural and commercial illustrator for more than 30 years before advancing to painting oil landscapes in 2002. He now concentrates on painting pastoral landscapes that include horses, figures, and architecture. His paintings are impressionistic in style and evoke a sense of peace. Thompson has studied under some of the nation's top painters including Kevin Macpherson, Ken Auster, Kenn Backhaus, Roger Dale Brown, Scott Christensen, Ned Mueller, Michael Shane Neal, and Dawn Whitelaw. During 2007/08, he was invited to conduct four solo exhibitions by art associations in Birmingham and Guntersville, AL; Memphis and Nashville, TN. Thompson is a member of the Oil Painters of America, Portrait Society of America, Alabama Plein Air Painters, Landscape Artists International, Art for Patronage, and the Chestnut Group, a nonprofit alliance of landscape artists of Nashville, TN. Travels to Arizona, Connecticut, Maine, Maryland, New Mexico, North Carolina, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, and Wyoming, as well as Canada and Europe, have afforded the painter a wide array of subject matter for his paintings.
