Mike will set up his French easel and paint a small painting from a photo, describing the process and talking about some of the basics of the painting process along the way.
About the Artist:
Mike began drawing and painting at the age of seven and is basically self-taught. He works primarily with oil paints in the Plein-Air tradition. This form of working outdoors grew out of his vacations on Cape Cod and Cape Ann Massachusetts, where the natural beauty of the landscape is overwhelming to Mike, who continues to paint shorelines in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. Most of his paintings are completed in one session. This is called Alla Prima. Mike considers himself a true and traditional painter with a love of the natural world and its possibilities for expression.
