In addition to portraiture
and landscapes, Michael is always pleased to accept commissions for a variety
of other works, from small studies to major paintings. - Thorough research is often especially important. When tackling historical aviation, marine and motor art for instance, it is crucial to ensure that the subject is painted in the correct livery for the time, and that incidental features match the era. - The following is a selection of his commissioned work in recent years: - Aviation Paintings Michael has had many years’ experience painting famous classic aircraft, including wartime action scenes for leading aviation publisher, Ian Allan Ltd, as well as other historic aircraft organisations and museums. An associate member of the Guild of Aviation Artists, he received major awards at their annual exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London in 2004 and 2005. - Maritime Paintings Numerous maritime commissions have been undertaken, from work on behalf of Cunard Shipping Line for paintings and illustrations of their vessels in exotic locations, to illustrated history books featuring dramatic wartime action paintings, to private commissions for an owner’s yachts in full sail. - Railway Paintings Michael has completed several commissions for steam locomotives and other forms of transport for private collections and leading publishers. - Automobile Paintings Motor racing cars too form a good proportion of his portfolio, commissioned by advertisers, publishers, museums and private clients. - Military Paintings Battle scenes have also been commissioned by publishers and for a London military club. - Architectural Illustrations In the past Michael has created many architectural artist’s impressions from the building industry and real estate companies, as well as generating private commissions for individual house, village and townscapes. - Countryside Paintings A personal favourite: flora and fauna have served as the basis of many of his works, both for publishers and private clients. Michael also has many years experience producing illustrations for agricultural supply and machinery companies. - Animal Portraiture Some of Michael’s most rewarding work has been creating faithful portraits of pets, both small studies and major works. The pleasure people receive from seeing portraits of their dogs, cats and horses is not easily forgotten. |
