The Slumbering Stockman

In this painting I wanted to capture a serene moment of a hard working stockman drifting off to sleep in the middle of the night by the warmth of the campfire. His loyal dog companion is curled up by his side still keeping an eye on the distance to be sure that his best friend is safe. This piece is full of beautiful warmth and eye catching colour that excites the eye. Framed in a custom oak floating frame, this painting will draw attention in any room.

Hello everyone, my name is Michael Morgan and I am a passionate artist living with a disability from the Sunshine Coast, Australia.
Art is my passion. My purpose. My everything. It is what gets me through each day and is a real source of motivation in times of need. I am a self-taught artist who is heavily inspired by the impressionist and post-impressionist movement. My journey into art began after being diagnosed with a rare and incurable auto-immune disease. Art became my source of comfort, escapism and companionship. I had found a way of being able to express all my inner emotions onto a canvas in a way that my body was no longer able to due to the debilitating nature of my condition. Art has enabled me a freedom to travel and explore imaginary worlds that bring me immense pleasure in life’s darkest days.
