Landscapes
Michael’s landscapes are visualised from a unique perspective, enhanced by the play of sunlight and shadows into striking compositions.

His atmospheric watercolours, large impasto acrylics and line and wash drawing all have a graphic quality stemming from his long experience as a commercial artist and designer. He always looks for the ‘happy accident’ in his compositions, visual symmetries that are too often gone in an instant; the way a branching tree breaks up the image of a building behind it, a startled flock of birds or relaxed figures caught in casual conversation.

Prints
Michael publishes a range of Limited Edition Fine art prints of the Jurassic Coast area and beyond, reproduced from his original paintings. They are of the finest reproduction quality available, their accuracy of colour and detail together with their durability all being endorsed by the strict standards of The Fine Art Trade Guild.
