Michael is inspired by light, and more specifically thbe interaction of light with clouds, water and architecture. He begins painting with an almost completly black canvas and 'teases' out the subject, slowly immulinating the scene with his paintbrush and charcoal. Oil and charcoal meld together in Michael's work to capture the romatic haze of light and dark.
