Michael's art has gone through a significant change over the last year. Previous work was in a traditional style, but since his move to Scotland his paintings have been influenced by the Scottish colourists and the Expressionists. The combination of these influences and the new landscape he now lives in has made the work more vibrant and confident. Marc Rothko, Cadell, Furgusson, Hunter and Peploe are the main new influences on his oil paintings. A clarity of thought has now matured in his work and the resulting confidence has meant that the paintings have increased in their intensity and scale. The subject matter has moved from representational to a more mood making quality with elements of symbolism.
Portraits have become a new interest and provide an interesting balance to the highly expressive landscape style. He is currently working on a series of portrait commissions alongside his normal work.
