About This Artwork
Maggie Valley, North Carolina, is located near the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is known for the 318 curves on the road through the Valley. It was on this road that Tommy Thompson and wife Marie found this rustic barn and silo. "Morning at Maggie Valley" is a studio piece that was created using a field study painted onsite. The field study was critiqued at Old Lyme, Connecticut by Plein Air Painters of America (PAPA) artist, Ned Mueller , who praised the painting's "color harmony and its good use of principles." Tommy Thompson created the studio piece using the field study and reference photographs. Thompson used a simple pallet of red, yellow, blue and white (cadmium yellow light, cadmium red light, alizirin crimson, ultramarine blue, and titanium white).In his book, "Landscape Painting: Inside and Out," Kevin Macpherson emphasizes what Tommy Thompson has also found to be true. "Color harmony is almost automatic when you use a limited palette," says Macpherson. "Once they (the primaries) are mixed, it becomes possible to find harmonies among the mixtures.
