Paintings by Theodore Waddell begin as he did: in the rural surrounds of his boyhood. Growing up in a small railroad town outside Billings, Montana, a young Waddell recognized the duality of nature and its role as both a fertile playground and a stern teacher. Thus schooled, he let his imagination fuel his explorations of fall harvests and farm choirs, threshing machines and tractors, chickens and cows, hunting and fishing. Such scenes formed the firmament of his art, his attunement to rugged resiliency, as well as luminous simplicity. He lives as he paints—ever diligent, evaluating, and evolving. His marks attest to this resolve. Rough Tenacity borders elegant transparency. Periodic hard lines cut though it all as a reminder of the stark clarity that comes with decisive action.

Movement feels palpable in his paintings.

Far from idle, his subjects labor in isolation,

with only the landscape as contrast and companion. Their essential forms feel carved out of the shifting seasons, punctuating the grey-yellow of spring, blanketed by the white of winter. Ghosts appear in some settings, faint outlines testify to change and decay, as markers of mortality. For Waddell, carpe diem hinges on awareness of death: “The understanding of death brings about a feeling of wonderfulness and appreciation of life and just how fragile and magical it all is.”

Most recently, Waddell has channeled the magic of his rural roots into a children’s book rich with his original illustrations.

Memories of Childhood, stars the full cast of his childhood: chickens and cows, boys and dogs, threshing machines and tractors, hunting and fishing adventures, farm chores and fall harvests. As in his paintings, wonder abounds on each page.
