J. Douglas Thompson paints primarily in acrylic, attempting to depict various atmospherics caused by light interacting with water in all forms. Whether found in grand cumulous clouds, fog drifting up on a lake in the early morning, waterfalls, crashing waves or its many other permutations, he is moved to capture these events of wonder. His paintings are also personal metaphoric expressions of light filled with hope, in juxtaposition to the challenges of life.
