Artist's statement
Commissions have ranged from luxury yachts to submarines, from oil rigs to a swimming pool.  Through perhaps better-known on Mull as a traditional signwriter, he's still in the illustration business with line drawings, cut-away illustrations and exploded diagrams regularly on the drawing board, and he's still pretty nifty with an airbrush!  In these days of computer-generated this, that and the other, Tim believes that a good illustrator can beat a machine in terms of quality and individuality.
Tim paints watercolours for fun and relaxation, and folk who know his work sometimes commission him to paint buildings or places which have significance for them.  He's happy to provide tuition and encouragement to visitors who'd like to improve their painting skills or who simply need a bit of a 'push' to get them back into watercolours, having perhaps lost confidence.
