ARTIST TALK about my show AT STUDIO GALLERY in San Francisco 

Congrats on the show! I’m in Georgia but as an airline employee I get to travel. When the lockdowns stop, looking forward to a trip to Napa, and going by the studio to see your work!

Awesome show, Michael, so glad you walked us around there. Really great stuff! 👍👍

That was a really cool art talk, thanks for being so generous with sharing your experiences. And also thank you for answering my question about light & shadow relationship. Congrats on your show ! It's great that you are for ever evolving, you're not someone who found a niche, or a trade mark subject matter, and sticks to doing just what works (I mean sell). That makes your life journey such an enriching experience to yourself and to others. Cheers from 🇨🇦

It's also really inspiring what a great dad you are I'm 41 and my daughter's going to turn seven in February. You're a huge inspiration to me as a dad as well and I appreciate you sharing your life and taking the time to do that and this day and age there's not a lot of respectable people to look up to so I appreciate that thanks man respect

Pamela from Maine (posting from my husbands youtube). Adore your work and talks! I paint daily and often listen while I'm working. I've picked up so many great tips listening and stop and watch on breaks! I thought I would share antique shops are a GREAT place for beginning artists to sell their work. I've sold over 200 paintings in the last year. The commission cost is much lower than a gallery and really capture a good audience. Best from Maine!

I've been super busy since I moved to Florida I haven't watched your stuff in a while for every time I do your artwork is so unbelievable your style is so simplistic but so detailed and your California lifestyle and attitude and approach is very cool very respectable it's need to check in every once in awhile much love brother your inspiration as well as a mentor thanks again for taking the time to post your work

Thank you Michael. Your answer on your relationship with Studio Gallery was very helpful. I like the idea of growing with a gallery. I find that many of your motivations for painting and your approach parallel my personal experience, albeit your growth from start to viable living is much quicker than mine is likely to take. I have been painting for a while and only recently decided to take a run at making it my living. Your advice has been invaluable, and entertaining.

So happy for you❤️

I hope all your paintings sell out! One day I hope I can afford to buy one!! ❤️ they’re all so beautiful

Michael, you are SO very generous to other artists with sharing information and time! I hope many who find you inspiring show appreciation with a PATREON membership! Hey People, if you follow and find value, SUPPORT Michael’s generosity❣️

Its great to see the plein air painting in the gallery and in the beautiful frames。 Those seascapes are so good🎨🎨🙏

All your paintings are great

I love your paintings thanks for the gallery tour most awesome paintings. I will help me with ideas when I start looking for subjects to paint keep up your videos it help us all out. Thanks

You are truly inspiring!!..no professional workshops and you've come sooo far...I started back to oil painting in 1998 and I'm still struggling.!!

Awesome!!! Btw. OMG, you were 38yo in 2003?! You look so young! I mean, you look, in my opinion, at least 10 years younger than is your today age! I thought, you are in mid 40s! Cool! All the best!

Thanks for sharing Mike 👍
