He was a prolific painter, often compared stylistically to Monet,and art critics agreed Thompson was a master of color and light. "Thompson's great appreciation for nature is observed in his landscapes that represent a point in time that has both a sense of history and eternity. The artist found beauty all around him; It was as nearby as his favorite fishing hole or a neighbor's backyard. In these simple yet intimate places, Thompson reminded others to take time to stop and take another look." Listings wanted.
