Kiss me quick

This painting explores skin tones without the use of white paint, embracing the natural depth and warmth of color. It captures the intimate moment of a kiss—an act that is both fleeting and profound, yet undeniable evidence of love. The perspective is accurate only when viewed from the distance of a kiss itself, so needs to be hung in an intimate space.

Michael now has a long-awaited chance to pursue his passion for oil painting.

These inaugural paintings showcase his exploration of portraiture. Michael’s paintings, Monestial Blue and Mystery Girl, highlight his focus on tonal contrast, while Kiss Me Quick challenges him to paint without the use of white. Through a restricted palette, his other works celebrate the richness of oil colors.

Michael sees great value in studying master artists, interpreting their influence in his unique style. His works, Homage to Dickenson and da Vinci and Homage to de Lempicka, pay tribute to these iconic figures.

Still feeling 21 at heart, Michael embraces this exciting new chapter with the enthusiasm of a budding artist.

He is keen to build on these portraits and welcomes commissions.
