Tim Solliday
Tim Solliday is a contemporary California Plein-Air Painter and Western Artist who is known for his San Gabriel Valley landscapes and his paintings of American Indians and other western subjects.〔See 99th Annual California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition catalog biography〕 He studied with the California Impressionist portrait and landscape painter Theodore Lukits (1897–1992) in the 1970s and began working professionally in the early 1980s.〔See California Art Club Annual Gold Medal Exhibition Catalogs, 1994-2010 for basic biographical information.〕 Solliday is described as a painter with a "muscular, masculine style" and has been compared to artists of the Taos Ten, especially E. Martin Hennings. He is a Signature Member of the California Art Club (f. 1909).〔Listed as such on California Art Club Web Site〕 He exhibits with the Laguna Plein-Air Painters Association,〔Listed as a member on the LAPA web site.〕 the Oil Painters of America〔Listed as a member on the OPA web site.〕 and at the Maynard Dixon Invitational,〔Listed on the list of artists each year.〕 which is held in Utah each year. Solliday's work has been featured in a number of American art magazines such as ''Southwest Art'', ''American Artist'' and ''Art of the West''.〔See list of these publications below. The commercial web site Ask Art tracks auction sales with a high value of $47,000 for Solliday's western works.〕 Through his plein-air work in the pastel medium and large canvasses, he has played an important role in the revival of landscape painting in Southern California.
==Youth and artistic training==
Solliday was born in the small town of Ottumwa, Iowa, but grew up on the Palos Verdes Peninsula in southern California.〔Susan Hallsten McGarry, "Variety and Harmony", Southwest Art Magazine, February 1997〕 His father was an artist and an illustrator, so he developed an interest in art as a young boy. After he completed his education, Solliday went to work in the billboard industry as an apprentice. While he was interested in becoming a fine artist, working in outdoor advertising proved to be good experience for an aspiring painter and it enabled him to pay for his art studies. It was while working in this commercial field that he learned about the Lukits Academy, where the Early California painter Theodore Lukits still gave students classical instruction. Solliday began his studies there in 1975.〔Lucile Lukits, Student Tuition Records, Lukits Academy Archive〕 This course of study is now commonly known as the Atelier Method. Solliday studied with Lukits for five years. He began by "drawing from the antique" which meant doing charcoal or graphite portraits of marbles and plaster casts of ancient Roman and Greek statuary.〔See Peter Adams' "Recollections" in The Pastel Landscapes of Theodore Lukits, Carnegie Museum (1998), p. 4-5. Adams entry discusses Lukits' instruction in some detail.〕 These studies taught the students to understand "values" which are the tonal gradations of light and shadow. Solliday moved from working from plaster casts to simple still life set-ups only after his instructor was satisfied with his work. Eventually he began to work in color, painting still life set-ups under the colored lights that Lukits used to simulate conditions an artist would find out of doors. He also attended Lukits' anatomy and life drawing classes.〔See essay Solliday wrote for Suzanne Bellah's catalog, ''The Pastels Landscapes of Theodore Lukits'', Carnegie Museum, Oxnard, p. 3 (1991)〕
