Over the last few years Tim's attention has fallen on the flatlands of East Anglia,
in particular Norfolk and Suffolk. Of this area, Tim states "It is no coincidence that this is where both Constable and Seago made some of their most powerful works, as the combination of impossibly vast skies and abrupt verticals in a sometimes overwhelmingly horizontal landscape creates views that have a stark beauty found nowhere else".

Tim was elected Associate Member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters in 2011.
