Timmy Collectable Editions Timmy Mallett’s award winning Impressionist scenes are drawn from his travels around the UK and across the world. Timmy is inspired by sunshine and shadow, the changing seasons and the magic of the moment ! His paintings glow with warmth, light and colour. Not surprising when the man known to millions is such a colourful and enthusiastic individual. Timmy is a much loved TV personality, entertainer and artist. He started out winning awards in radio and on Breakfast TV, Wacaday and Mallett’s Mallet proved an enduring favourite. Timmy met Andrew Lloyd Webber (a big collector of pre-Raphaelite art) and together they had a world wide hit with Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini. He’s been seen on ITV’s I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and tours regularly being thoroughly entertaining on stage. At Warwick University he studied History and History of Art and a paint brush has never been far from his reach. Indeed Mallett’s Palette is as much a part of him as Mallett’s Mallet. Timmy is recognised as an artist world wide and his work is widely collected. Timmy’s charitable street art includes a life size gorilla in Bristol, the Remembrance Day piano in Preston and currently the Ring A Royal phone box at Windsor Castle. He has painted many famous faces including Lorraine Kelly, Sir Clive Woodward, Jim Rosenthal and Wendy Craig. These paintings are testament to Timmy’s discerning eye and delight in putting paint to canvas. Carpe Diem – seize the day! Log on to our website to view a short film of Timmy giving an insight into the each of his collectable editions. Jubilee Barge Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 | 30” x 24” | Framed £650 Monet’s 1871 painting of the Houses of Parliament shows the foggy London which was so typical at the time. Now those famous fogs are a thing of the past, but on the memorable day of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, London was swathed in a beautiful misty rain. As the Royal Barge carried on regardless, accompanied by that amazing flotilla, the weather combined with the occasion to create an irresistible image. Celebrating on The Mall Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 | 20” x 17” | Framed £450 London never fails to inspire. Every couple of weeks it seems there is a reason to fly the flags, and on this occasion they were out as a pre-emptive celebration of the birth of Prince George. The Mall looked not pink but purple in the shadows, and the Victoria Memorial was glittering in the sunlight. The taxi heading towards Buckingham Palace was not a traditional London black cab, but this detail shows that this is not a nostalgic image – rather it is of a real and present moment when, as always in the capital, something was about to happen. Gondolas at Rest Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 | 28” x 18” | Framed £550 Venice has the best airport transfer in the world. That water taxi across the lagoon - its as fast as you can go! In this view, with St Mark’s behind you and San Giorgio on the island ahead of you I’m reminded that Venice is a year-round city, beautiful in all seasons, and here the turquoise of the gondola covers matches the colour of the sky which is also reflected in the soft waters of the lagoon. See this same view in November when the mists rolls in off the Adriatic and it’s still perfect! Bluebell Shadows Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 | 28” x 18” | Framed £550 Year after year the bluebells of Britain put on a spectacular show for three weeks in the spring. Half of the World’s bluebell varieties are native to the British isles. Our bluebell woods always surprise and here they display this lovely never-ending carpet which you reach by, what feels like, a secret path, and which seems to stretch on forever. As the season moves on, their setting and consequently their colour changes. At first there is not much green above and the bluebells have a really intense hue. Then as the canopy grows in above them, they become shadowed and their colour changes accordingly. Something different to enjoy - everyday! The poppy field is a classic countryside Summer Splendour Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 32” x 12” | Framed £495 image and I wanted to paint it as soon as possible as poppies are such fleeting flowers. I loved the way the hill rising up to the left and the trees in the distance provided such a lush context for the poppies and daisies on the ground. When I’m painting there is nothing I love more Woodland Walk Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 32” x 12” | Framed £495 than a backlit view, and here the illumination of the gold beech leaves and the purple of the road make a magical world of colour. This draws you in and makes you wonder what is around the corner - but you’ve only got a short window of time to investigate before the inevitable stormy weekend arrives marking the transition into winter. Snowy Post Box Embellished Canvas Edition of 195 | 18” x 18” | Framed £425 There’s something magical about winter when the snow’s on the ground and everything is feeling cold, clear and crisp. Painting snow scenes is always a challenge because the shadows define the landscape and those blues and purples against the white have a dramatic effect – challenging yes, but I love it. I came across this lovely lonesome snowy pillar box at the start of a winter walk. Sure enough, the deep drifts of snow cast great shadows in the low winter sunshine and the deep red of the post box partly covered in frozen snow made for a perfect painting. You could almost hear the crunch of footsteps in that thick deep snow. Original Paintings Please contact the gallery to discuss the availability of original artwork by Timmy.
