Originally from Austin, Texas, Thomas English has been a Montana resident since 1991. English is an avid outdoor painter as well as a studio painter. He has participated in many shows throughout the United States and his work has been widely collected. English has shown many times in the C.M. Russell Auction, Quick Draw, and Masters in Miniature. Other shows include the Treasure State Invitational, the Montana Land Reliance, Plein Air Tucson, Masters in Montana, and many gallery shows.Tom will cover all aspects of creating a painting en plein air, including the basics of color theory and development of composition using basic shapes. The workshop will include instructor demonstrations of painting in an impressionist style, painting outdoors (weather permitting), and personal guidance for beginning and experienced painting students. Critiques will advance the learning process. Students will complete a couple paintings per day.
He was invited to attend the annual Glacier National Park "Superintendents" Hike and many times to the annual "Russell Ride" at the Circle Bar Ranch, near Utica, Montana, as an "artist guest". English has had one-man shows at the Paris Gibson Square Museum of Art in Great Falls, Montana and at the Hockaday Museum of Art in Kalispell, Montana. During the Hockaday Museum showing the museum purchased one of his paintings of Glacier National Park for their permanent collection. His work has been displayed at the Governors' Mansion in Helena, Mont., and he also was awarded the prestigious "Artist in Residency" in Glacier National Park. He is a founding member and was the first President of the Montana Painters Alliance.
