Thompson creates his works in the plein air style, which involves painting on location outdoors. He has been a plein air landscape painter for thirty years, first painting on the streets of Philadelphia and, beginning in 1986, in Maine.
鈥淚 paint entirely from life, beginning and completing each painting on location,鈥 Thompson shared. 鈥淏y capturing these seemingly ordinary places with passion and vigor, I hope to transform these scenes into extraordinary and sensitive images for others to share in my celebration.鈥
