I really enjoy Tim’s work, which are mainly incredibly well-rendered watercolours and pastels based on his photographs of family and friends. Most of them are based in the middle-class suburbs or vast landscape of North America, where he was raised. Many of them have a quiet, unsettling quality in a sort of Rick Moody/Ice Storm kind of way, probably something to do with their settings but also to do with the subtleties of tension and awkwardness that they convey. Here are a few examples of other paintings of Tim’s I thought were great ( I particularly love the group Ice Hockey Team photo),with a couple of links to some other sites on his work:
