Timmins, born in 1915, had a career that spanned from commercial illustration to fine art. After studying at the Art Students League and the Grand Central School of Art, he worked in illustration before turning his attention to landscapes and wildlife, often inspired by the natural beauty of California’s Monterey Peninsula. His later work, like this piece, reflects a shift from the narrative style of illustration to a more intimate exploration of nature. See less
