Painted in McHugh's Trentham studio. Blending modern technology with traditional art, the creative journey begins with a carefully crafted prompt that leads to a reference image generated using AI. This image is then skillfully drawn onto a canvas, with the artist making thoughtful adjustments to enhance the piece. The final work is an airbrushed painting, using acrylic paints that brings out the colors and details beautifully of the native Australian Bush Landscape.

Evoking the quiet poetry of Melbourne’s rainy days, this atmospheric work captures the city as seen across the shimmering expanse of Port Phillip Bay. The composition embraces a muted, ethereal palette, where soft tonal shifts and delicately suggestive forms invite contemplation. Through its restrained color harmonies and fluid shapes, the painting conveys the essence of Melbourne’s ever-changing weather—its unpredictability, its drama, and its understated beauty. It is a visual meditation on mood and place, offering viewers a sense of serenity intertwined with the city’s vibrant character.”

Part of a series of contemporary still‑life works in McHugh’s signature high‑contrast, high‑impact style, this piece features a deep, velvety blue backdrop created through a blend of airbrush and oil techniques. Soft, deliberate highlights illuminate three abstracted blooms—a rose, a poppy, and a large dahlia—balancing realism and abstraction. The result is a harmonious fusion of airbrush precision and traditional painterly expression.

This one-of-a-kind still life is part of Mike’s ongoing series exploring the beauty of simplicity. The composition features a single, vibrant red rose in a clear glass vessel filled with water, set against a subtly blended deep blue background. The interplay of light on the reflective glass adds depth and elegance, while the rose—rendered with just a few confident brushstrokes—commands attention with its striking color and form. Combining modern realism with touches of airbrush technique and abstract impressionism, this oil painting on canvas board is a stunning fusion of precision and expressive artistry.
