Oil Painter | Contemporary Impressionist Landscapes

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. His work has been juried into local, national, and international exhibitions. A Signature Member of the Rochester Art Club and a member of the Greater Rochester Plein Air Painters, Tim has earned recent accolades, including Best of Show at the Rochester Art Club for a figurative piece, as well as a Top 20 distinction in the Modern Impressionist Salon.

“I focus on how light and atmosphere come together to reveal a subject. My work captures the overall impression of a moment—much like a memory—using an alla prima, or wet-into-wet, approach. This loose brushwork allows me to translate the raw energy of a scene directly onto the canvas. I feel I’ve succeeded when I’ve captured the sense of being present within the small world I’ve created.”
