Gallery Series: Rustic Young Woman

Travel back in time to meet this historically intriguing young woman in yet another of Michael's in-depth composition courses. Experience the entire process end to end as a bold, creative composition comes to life one piece at a time. It's time to pay close attention to those references as you balance still life with figure and costume. Watch, listen to, and practice alongside a professional painter as he takes every necessary step in clear detail, including the rough design, blocking in values, and simplification of the scene. Come as a writer, leave as a poet, focusing on ideas that suggest instead of mimic reality. That way, you can make the scene more interactive by leaving some details up to the viewer's imagination.

Michael lives in the beautiful Cache Valley of northern Utah with his wife, Juanita, and their four children. The surrounding rural communities and setting provide backdrops for his figure paintings and inspiration for his landscapes. His serious study began under Del Parson at Dixie College where he completed his associate’s degree. He then went on to Southern Utah University where he had the opportunity to study with Perry Stewart, and completed his formal education at Utah State University where he received a Master of Fine Arts Degree studying under Glen Edwards. Workshops have also played an important part of his development studying with such master painters as Richard Schmid, Burton Silverman, Daniel Gerhartz, Quang Ho, Ron Hicks, Michael Workman, and Jim Norton.
