About Tommy Thompson, artist

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 2003. 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, 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, Guntersville, Memphis, and Nashville.

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. He is a Founding Artist of Discovered Artists Gallery of Chicago, IL. Thompson's work is also displayed at the Willis-Gray Gallery, Decatur, AL; Heirloom Shop, Franklin, TN; and Loblolly Interior Market, Columbia, TN.

The artist's childhood near Starkville, MS, instilled in him a love of nature. Now living near the Tennessee River in Florence, Alabama, Thompson receives inspiration for his landscape paintings from the natural surroundings.
