Tony Thompson

With the exception of some European painting I paint the landscape I know best, Nantucket and the Hudson River Valley. I hope my paintings reflect my love for that landscape. I am interested in the light and atmosphere of particular times of day and seasons of the year. Hudson River School painters such as Gifford, Kensett and Inness are among my favorites.
