One day I was out in our backyard marsh area (which butts up against Pike Lake) sketching and photo shooting. As I was looking around I turned to my right and froze, about 10 yards away from me was standing this Sandhill Crane (did a double take to make sure what I was seeing.) The scene was so picturesque, as I slowly raised the camera, I was immediately thinking painting! The colors, marsh grasses glowing in spots, bending back and forth in the soft breeze, just presented a majestic composition of the Grus Canadensis.

"Bison bison - Tatanka" oil on canvas, 5ft x 7ft

For sale: "Bison bison – Tatanka", oil on canvas, 5ft x 7ft.
$9,500 (does not include shipping.)
This painting was in direct response to a photograph a friend had taken of a bison near the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation and Badlands National Park, South Dakota. The moment he shared his photo and story I was imaging a large oil on canvas painting exhibiting it's powerful presence – the National Mammal of the United States.
This piece can be seen at the Ivy Tech Community College, Warsaw, IN. It is a visual reminder of the bison heritage and the State of Indiana. Numbering in excess of 6 million in the past, the bison migrated through Indiana creating what is now called the Buffalo Trace trail. The bison is also included on the Indiana State Seal as a symbol of westward expansion.

"Break of Dawn" headed to Indiana State Museum

Break of Dawn, oil on canvas, 36" x 36," has been selected for the “94th Annual Hoosier Salon Exhibition,” Aug. 3 – Oct. 14, at the Indiana State Museum, Indianapolis, IN.

I simply wanted to capture the fleeting tranquil early morning moment, with a sketchy soft brush approach. The scene was shot while in Myrtle Beach, SC, from a balcony, it had a Bellows-esque perspective and a Lorraine-esque colored horizon I couldn't resist. I also, was intrigued by the dark tones and values that morning, reminiscent of an early Monet moonlit piece, "The Beach at St. Adreese."
 
I'm available for site-specific projects, commissions, and sales. I work with interior designers, home owners, and architects, on various concepts. Please contact me for more info youngtimothyw@gmail.com and/or visit my studio, Old Train Depot, Warsaw, IN.

Sandhill Crane (Near Pike Lake, Warsaw, IN) oil on canvas, 4' x 4'. $2,800 (does not include shipping, contact me at youngtimothyw@gmail.com.)
One day I was out in our backyard marsh area (which butts up against Pike Lake) sketching and photo shooting wild life and what ever else might catch my eye. As I was looking around standing in a field of glistening marsh grasses, I turned to my right and froze, about 10 yards away was standing this Sandhill Crane, (had to do a double take to make sure what I was seeing.) The scene was so picturesque, as I slowly raised the camera, I was immediately thinking painting! The colors, marsh grasses glowing in spots, bending back and forth in the soft breeze, just presented a majestic composition of the Grus Canadensis.

Four"s a Crowd

Four's a Crowd, oil on canvas, 48" x 48". $2,800 (does not include shipping contact me at youngtimothyw@gmail.com.)
One late afternoon these deer invaded my bird feeding space and began devouring their food. As I came to the patio door to shoo them away, the one turned and stared at me as if saying, “hey, what’s your problem, we're eating.” The composition, triad posturing of their heads, lighting, and color was so visually organized I couldn’t help but grab my old LG cell phone and take a picture and use it as a painting source. I proceeded to paint the composition vigorously, punctuating areas of interest throughout.
Price does not include shipping.

Four's a Crowd

Four's a Crowd, oil on canvas, 48" x 48" (in process.)
Had some more inquiries, so another studio sneak peek here, one of three painting projects. Oil on canvas, 48" x 48" (no title yet, maybe "Four's a Crowd.")  There's a funny story behind this piece I will explain later. Right now working with the sensual aspects of paint conveying a response to the subject. Second one of the three I'm working on together, "Suzan's Hawaii" "Four's a Crowd" "Le Déjeuner sur la Beach".
Available for commissions - paintings for private and public places. 

Red Roof Shed at the Edge of Dawn

Red Roof Shed at the Edge of Dawn, oil on canvas, 36" x 36"
Sold.
This new painting from my Fact and Ambiguity series, suggests a light reminiscent of the 17th century landscape painters' interest in luminism but with a modern twist. The fact is the scene, a shed, a tree, etc. The ambiguity is the distillation of the forms, the sublime of the objects - a subtraction of information that still conveys a luminous effect. Here the dawn light cuts through the early morning fog on an Indiana country field.
Also available for commissions - paintings for private and public places.

A work in progress: I have a number of paintings going on at the same time. This is an enlargement from the original piece, pulling the light in and around the suggested forms. Will continue to keep the general color and form scheme but further develop some hues for the expressive lighting.

Caught in a Storm

Caught in a Storm, oil on canvas, 40" x 30"

Private Collection

A tonal painting contrasting three horizontal color shapes in nature. The view was intense from the side of the road with the coming storm and with the sunlit wheat field.  Needless to say, we got very wet!
