            Beautiful work my friend and as always such soft harmonious application with gentle sweeping presence. Your subdued palette is always just wonderful with such smooth colour transitions and depth of scale.
            Love the panoramic sizes as well…. thanks for sharing as always a treat to view.

                I always look forward to your posts, as I know I will be in for a treat. These are exceptional – I just adore your style of painting, the soft, dreamlike quality speaks straight to my heart – these are exceptional. I don’t have a favorite, as they are all special – outstanding paintings :)

                    I enjoy your pictures of the Outback with their soft, harmonious colors. I mentioned before that they remind me of a flowing piece of music.

                        Michael, they are all gorgeous. I especially love the first two. The size of the first must contribute to it looking stunning, with its beautiful sky, distant mountains and flowing foreground. Ditto for two, and I love those soft pinks and blues. They all have such a lovely sense of rhythm, flow and harmony which reflect, imho, your skill!

                            ‘Timeless Landscape’ is so beautiful and strikes a cord with me personally. I really love the texture of the rugged landscape and the dream light.

                                These deserve multiple views. There is a balance of subtle and delicate vs harsh and desolate. Powerful feeling.

                                    All of these take my breath away! Most excellent.

                                            Many Thanks – John, Cali, Gary, Biz, Caroline, sevan, Kay, Derek,

                                            This technique began a while ago when I started to paint over old paintings that just never seemed to work out.
                                            I decided to use very thick paint & a 3 inch wide palette knife to completely cover the previous painting underneath. I had no idea that, over time, this would develop into a new technique in its own right.

                                            Thanks again as all your positive comments encourage me to paint more in this style & hopefully develop it further. Appreciated !

                                            Michael.

                                                These sweeping scenes are quite special Michael. Timeless is my favourite, but there all beautiful.
