Theodore Zimmerman. (A life of artistic study and painting.)
During a lifetime of study and painting, he would start early in the morning and continue until quite late in the evening, remaining oblivious to anything or anyone who wished to distract him from his work. Over the years, he was generous in giving paintings to close family and friends, and always passionately refusing to sell his works, saying to the public and art collectors, quote: "My paintings are a record of the places I have visited and of the cherished memories and experiences of my life as an artist.The love I have for my family, my paintings and the history of art, are the most important parts of my life and time as an artist on this wonderful and beautiful planet. To be true to yourself as an artist, do not concern yourself on how much your painting is worth or it's possible monetary value, concentrate on your work and only paint what you yourself want to paint and what is in your heart and mind. Any commercial value that collectors may place on my works during my lifetime or in the future is completely irrelevant". unquote.

Yorkshire paintings. Runswick Bay, Sandsend, Whitby and Staithes.
On the Yorkshire coast, Theo. stayed at a small cottage overlooking beautiful Runswick Bay where he painted 'en plein air' views from the beach and of the bay from high on the hill. In bad weather conditions when he was unable to go down to the beach to paint, he would spend hours looking at the sea and would sketch Runswick Bay from the cottage window. Days spent painting at Sandsend, Staithes and Whitby where Theo. completed works in pastels and occasionally in oils on canvas and board.
The late 'Old & New Testament' paintings.
Theo's. late atmospheric and colourful scenes of stories from the Bible, full of colour, poetry and mysticism, include 'The 'exodus' from Egypt'. 'The journeys of 'Moses' and the 'Israelites', including 'Moses and the 'Ten Commandments,' ' Mount Sinai,' 'The Israelites and the parting of the Red Sea,' The destruction of Herods army,' 'Moses and the Israelites at the promised land'. Other paintings are from the 'New Testament', include, 'The Crucifixion of Christ', 'The sermon on the mount', 'The raising of Lazarus', 'The feeding of the five thousand,' etc. The style and colour of these large beautiful works are some of Theo's finest creations.

Due to his very poor health following three heart attacks and a worsening heart condition in his later retirement years, Theo. ceased painting for quite a long period of time before starting to paint again on a very much reduced scale with his Bible Story series. Retired from painting for many years, he would only paint an occasional picture or drawing for a friend or family member who requested a special work. With Theo's reluctance and even refusal to sell his paintings, his works are relatively scarce. All his paintings are signed, inscribed, and bear the important provenance 'Atelier' stamp of the artist.
