PORTLAND, Maine - eMusicWire -- Join Richard Boyd Art Gallery in welcoming Stamford, Connecticut artist Tim Eaton to the group of artists represented by the gallery in Southern Maine. Tim, a renowned commercial and fine artist, has painted scenery for as long as he can remember. The works he produces are entirely done from recollections and imagination. Though he is constantly studying nature through the use of digital photography, there are never any photos used for reference near his easel. He is able to do this after having spent many years travelling and painting watercolors "a la plein air" in France, Italy, Turkey, and China.

This approach finds its premise and its intent in a quote, which hangs in his studio, from the famous French Impressionist painter Edgar Degas on training the visual memory. "It is all very well to copy what you see; It is much better to draw what you only see in memory. There is a transformation during which the imagination works in conjunction with the memory. You only put down what made an impression on you, that is to say the essential. Then your memory and your invention are freed from the dominating influence of nature. That is why pictures made by a person with a trained memory are almost always remarkable works."

Tim's landscapes capture poetically harmonious moments in the natural world. Through years of trial and experimentation he continues to discover fresh ideas, compositions and a variety of techniques all with the intention of creating visually appealing works to inspire a distinct emotional connection with his viewers. Most of his work is executed on archival linen or other durable substrates using a combination of color fast acrylics and modified oils, therefore created to resist damage by sunlight and other environmental conditions for many lifetimes.

Tim holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Vermont. He spent a year under the instruction of Richard Whitney who at the time was the youngest member of the Boston Guild of Professional Portrait and Landscape Painters, and two years studying painting techniques at the National School of Decorative Art in Nice, France.
