Richard Earl Thompson (September 26, 1914 – August 6, 1991) was a 20th-century American Impressionist painter who began his career as a commercial illustrator in Chicago, Illinois.
 In 1959, he broke away from a career as a commercial illustrator, which began in 1933, to pursue Impressionist painting.
 He was a prolific painter, often compared stylistically to Monet, and art critics agreed Thompson was a master of color and light.
 "Thompson's great appreciation for nature is observed in his landscapes that represent a point in time that has both a sense of history and eternity.
 The artist found beauty all around him; It was as nearby as his favorite fishing hole or a neighbor's backyard.
 In these simple yet intimate places, Thompson reminded others to take time to stop and take another look."
