Biography:
My art journey began in London at the Tate Britain when I happened upon the stunning oil and watercolor paintings of J.M.W. Turner. The ensuing decades have been punctuated by endeavoring, as he described, to “manipulate paint into ethereal approximations of nature.” I most enjoy the free expression of painting en plein air, in the elusive pursuit of capturing the “air between artist and subject.” The American West, Pacific coast, city of Paris and gardens of Giverny have provided natural beauty and color palettes, moving beyond the recurring and familiar inexhaustible splendor of coastal Maine and America’s oldest seaside report…Cape May.
I am grateful beyond measure to those who have inspired, encouraged, and brought focus to my meanderings. The journey of storytelling with paint continues. My work may be seen at tpryor.faso.com.
