Like a winemaker who has his own special selection, Michael can offer the curious buyer something different from his stock room. He has numerous unframed figure drawings and paintings that have been stored until the right client comes along.

Over his career Michael has taken on numerous commissions of a broad range of subject matter from traditional portraits and landscapes to houses, cars, dogs.

Michael is always on the look out for people prepared to sit for portraits. Purchasing the painting is not mandatory - perhaps you just wish to have the experience of sitting for an artist.

Small paintings start at around $100 framed. An average sized work (400x500mm, unframed) would be around $500.

Contact Michael to:

• Discuss a commission.
• Buy a painting or drawing.
• Discuss art.
• Ask to sit / model for him.
• Be added to his mailing list.

• Acquire something you love.
  Even if it stays at the value that you purchased it at you will get great joy from viewing it every day on your wall.
• Ensure authenticity.
  By buying direct from the artist you are sure of its provenance. Happily you will also avoid gallery commissions which can be as high as 50%.
• Purchase artwork by professional artists.
  Artists that are making a career of their art are more likely collectable. Michael has many clients who enjoy following his career by regularly attending his exhibitions and purchasing various works over time that form their own collection.
