Early Bird 2

"The early bird catches the worm" they say. This is certainly true for those who get up early to watch the beautiful sunrises over the ocean on the Gold Coast. This is my second painting of "Early Bird"
I love the feeling of solitude and serenity it depicts a woman as she reflects and mediates. Drawing the viewer to imagine yourself there, sitting on the beach.

New emerging artist. Michael was born in Brisbane and moved to the Gold Coast where he found a love for painting local scenes in his own unique style. Inspired by the impressionist like VanGough and Monet he uses a flurry of textured oil painted brush stokes combined with vibrant hues to capture light and create poetic dream-like images where every brush stroke is interesting to look at.

A qualified graphic designer, illustrator and a Member of the Royal Queensland Arts Society in recent years he has won several minor art competitions.
Michael continues to develop his style and hone his skills with his paintings of familiar Gold Coast scenes to invoke a feeling of serenity and beauty.
