Tim Winter is a modern impressionist painter based in Pittsford, New York, specializing in oil landscapes and figurative work. His paintings range from sun-drenched harbor views to narrative street scenes, each capturing a distinct sense of light and atmosphere.
“My work captures the impression of a moment—much like a memory—using an alla prima approach. By focusing on how light and atmosphere reveal a subject, I translate a scene’s raw energy into paint, aiming to capture the feeling of being present in that moment.”
When he is not chasing down his next inspiration, Tim enjoys working with clients to bring their ideas to life on canvas. Click here to see examples of his commissioned work.
