About the Artist
Whether at home or abroad I find my inspiration in nature with all its beauty and complexity, the mosses and lichens on tree trunks, various plants or where sky meets water, all these things form the basis of my imagery. I seek out a broad spectrum of subject matter and like to impart a sense of place, of being there. A painting can be a journey in pictures, or a visual diary.
I graduated from the Ontario College of Art in 1984, where I studied for a year in Florence, Italy. While working as a cartoonist, caricaturist and illustrator, it’s through my love of painting that I have developed my personal vision as an artist.
My influences have been many, including such artist as Winslow Homer, Turner, Vermeer, the Surrealists, the Impressionists, and others. Realism is an obsessive tendency for me, as I like to follow the path of least resistance. Even though my paintings work on an abstract level I am driven to depict things as they really are, not just how they affect me.

Articles
"Tim Hough will be showing paintings, primarily landscape. His subjects are often local sites and when he can get there, the neighbouring north. His brush finds beauty in land that casual observers would relegate to scrub, unworthy of their cameras.
He says that he doesn't interpret what he paints. Perhaps not, but the evidence of a unique vision is all over these canvasses. What may at first glance appear to be representation, within a nanosecond of beginning to look, reveals much more.
Hough's greens are lush and deliciously real, like they are after a good rain. They are voluptuous, a generosity extended by him to the landscape. His shad¬ows are rich and exaggerated, the deepest of darks adding a wonderful mystery. I felt that I was looking at a chronicling of how we should see the landscape that surrounds us now, and experiencing the poignancy that is part of the evolution of things.”
