Michael is a professional landscape painter working in Fife, Scotland, where he lives by the River Tay. His work is founded on the practice of painting outdoors in the impressionist manner, recording directly the effects of light he observes around him. His paintings seek to communicate his visual and emotional sensitivity to his local environment. A strong use of colour and bold application of paint characterise Michael’s painterly style, and his oil and watercolour paintings vividly represent the changing light of the River Tay.
