Michael Howley Art: Northern Skies

Tuesday 9 October 2018

I've been working on a new series of oil paintings over the last few weeks focusing on Northern Skies. I'm really enjoying the subject and the buttery blending qualities of the medium. Here are a few examples

Profile

Born as I was under the shadow of Pendle Hill, landscape has always 'loomed large' in my imagination and spoken to my soul. Inspired by landscape or memories of landscape, my paintings are at the same time 'innerscapes'. The artist in me seeks out connections between the changing moods of the outer world and my inner stirrings of emotion and spirit.

More recently, I have been experimenting with 'moodscapes' and 'happenings', where I turn up at the canvas or paper and see what wants to come through.

I have always enjoyed sharing my experience with other aspiring artists and taught Art and Design at Nelson and Colne College for 12 years before moving on to run workshops in my own studios (previously 'Art & Soul' and currently 's o u l s p a c e') I continue to demonstrate my painting techniques to Art Societies and am looking forward to developing my work further through s o u l s p a c e art studio
