Tim Solliday Art

American, b. 1952

California landscape and figure painter Tim Solliday was born in 1952. At an early age Solliday was inspired by his artist-father to begin painting. In the late 1980s he studied with early California Impressionist Theodore N. Lukits (1897-1992) at the Lukits Academy of Fine Art. There, Solliday honed his exceptional skills and solidified his goal of capturing beauty on canvas in the plein-air style. Solliday’s style of painting is reminiscent of Taos Society of Artists painters William Herbert Dunton and Ernest Martin Hennings. Through his plein-air work in the pastel medium and large canvases, he has played an important role in the revival of landscape painting in Southern California.

The work of Tim Solliday is frequently featured in national publications including Art of the West, Southwest Art, Western Art & Architecture, International Artist and American Artist. Art & Antiques magazine referred to Solliday as one of “California’s top plein-air artists.”

"California" Hilly Landscape Scene with Eucalyptus Trees

By Tim Solliday

Located in Austin, TX

By Tim Solliday 12" x 9" – Oil on Board This lovely scene depicts the hilly Californian landscape on a sunny day. Californian eucalyptus trees tower in the foreground next to a creek. Blue purple haze covers the peaks of the hills in the background. This piece comes ready to hang in a golden frame. About the Artist: Tim Solliday is a contemporary California Plein-Air Painter and Western Artist, celebrated for his landscapes of the San Gabriel Valley and his depictions of American Indians and other Western subjects. He embarked on his professional journey in the early 1980s after studying in the 1970s with Theodore Lukits (1897–1992), a notable California Impressionist portrait and landscape painter. Born in 1952, Solliday was inspired to paint by his artist father. He received his formal education in the late 1980s under Theodore N. Lukits, and his painting style is often compared to that of the Taos Society of Artists painters William Herbert Dunton and Ernest Martin Hennings.
