Piper One popular story about Turner, though it likely has little basis in reality, states that he even had himself "tied to the mast of a ship in order to experience the drama" of the elements during a storm at sea. In his later years he used oils ever more transparently, and turned to an evocation of almost pure light by use of shimmering colour.
A prime example of his mature style can be seen in Rain, Steam and Speed - The Great Western Railway , where the objects are barely recognizable. The intensity of hue and interest in evanescent light not only placed Turner's work in the vanguard of English painting, but later exerted an influence upon art in France, as well; the Impressionists, particularly Claude Monet, carefully studied his techniques.
It has been suggested that the high levels of ash in the atmosphere during the "Year Without a Summer," which led to unusually spectacular sunsets during this period, were an inspiration for some of Turner's work. John Ruskin says in his "Notes" on Turner in March , that an early patron, Dr Thomas Monro, the Principal Physician of Bedlam, was a significant influence on Turner's style: His true master was Dr Monro; to the practical teaching of that first patron and the wise simplicity of method of watercolour study, in which he was disciplined by him and companioned by Giston, the healthy and constant development of the greater power is primarily to be attributed; the greatness of the power itself, it is impossible to over-estimate.
Lenox wished to own a Turner and in bought one unseen through an intermediary, his friend C. Worried about the painting's reception by Lenox, who knew Turner's work only through his etchings, Leslie wrote Lenox that the quality of Staffa, "a most poetic picture of a steam boat" would become apparent in time.
Upon receiving the painting Lenox was baffled, and "greatly disappointed" by what he called the painting's "indistinctness".
Lenox that indistinctness is my fault. Turner left a small fortune which he hoped would be used to support what he called "decayed artists". Part of the money went to the Royal Academy of Arts, which does not now use it for this purpose, though occasionally it awards students the Turner Medal. His collection of finished paintings was bequeathed to the British nation, and he intended that a special gallery would be built to house them.
This did not come to pass owing to a failure to agree on a site, and then to the parsimony of British governments. Twenty-two years after his death, the British Parliament passed an Act allowing his paintings to be lent to museums outside London, and so began the process of scattering the pictures which Turner had wanted to be kept together. In the main part of the Turner Bequest, which includes unfinished paintings and drawings, was rehoused in the Duveen Turner Wing at the Tate Gallery.
In a new wing of the Tate, the Clore Gallery, was opened specifically to house the Turner bequest, though some of the most important paintings in it remain in the National Gallery in contravention of Turner's condition that the finished pictures be kept and shown together.
A prestigious annual art award, the Turner Prize, created in , was named in Turner's honour, but has become increasingly controversial, having promoted art which has no apparent connection with Turner's.
In October Professor Harold Livermore, its owner for 60 years, gave Sandycombe Lodge, the villa at Twickenham which Turner designed and built for himself, to the Sandycombe Lodge Trust to be preserved as a monument to the artist. In he additionally gave some land to the Trust which had been part of Turner's domaine. The organisation The Friends of Turner's House was formed in to support it.

All this excluded much in the way of a private life and such as he had was closely tied to his work, although it revealed a contrary need for seclusion which, in later years, mutated into secrecy or deliberate mystification. Sketches of the Thames in watercolour and oil exemplify the naturalism then emerging in British painting.
In retreat there he was looked after by his devoted father, who cooked and gardened. For a few years he had been close to Sarah Danby, the widow of a well-known musician but, inevitably, they were often apart.

His name could possibly be Timberlake, as shown on a desk at work. Turner's role on the show occasionally surpasses even that of Cosmo when it comes to being dimwitted. But usually, Mr. Turner tends to be simply deranged. This insanity usually results in him neglecting Timmy or putting his family in otherwise avoidable danger.
While Mr. Turner does love Timmy, he and Mrs. Turner still like to go out often and enjoy themselves without him. They even ignored and destroyed a legal document that said he was not to be left with a babysitter on Saturdays, preferring to use it as a fish wrap instead. He also loathes his neighbors, Sheldon Dinkleberg and his wife Mrs. Dinkleberg , because they constantly beat the Turners at contests and have more money to spend on themselves, since they are childless.
This fact is one that the Turners seem to sometimes wish for themselves, since they are apparently the only couple in the neighborhood with any children, except Vicky and Tootie's Parents. Their more recent behavior shows a greater air of indifference toward Timmy. Turner earning the love of his future wife, after she had been recently dumped by Dinkleberg.

They had a son together and named him Timmy, although they originally wanted a daughter and therefore bought large amounts of girl clothing, notably Timmy's trademark pink hat.
Turner works at a company called Pencil Nexus, where his boss Mr. Ed Leadly seems to dislike him. His occupation is described as a "pencil pusher".
