Quote

I don't want dead paint, so I test many of my works by studying them in a dark room at twilight or even after dark to check the luminosity. If the darker forms still have resonance and luminosity, I know the painting's working.

Woven through Timothy J. Clark’s paintings are unique combinations of visual and emotional stimuli.His sense of space, light and composition combine to create graphic tensions which intrigue beyond the beautifully-painted forms of the subjects.

Painting is almost like a religious experience, which should go on and on. Age just gives you the freedom to do some things you've never done before. Great work can come at any stage of your life.

You have to believe in what you're doing. In the long run, you have to feel that what you're doing, regardless of the trends, will have a lasting quality. Someday someone may pick it up and recognize that it was superior.
