Michele Field
Happy New year to you all
The subjects I most enjoy painting are canals,
waterways, woodlands, vibrant floral canvases
& dog portraits. Main medium is acrylic's.
Painting has given me much enjoyment since a young child.
Over the years I have held many solo exhibitions & can proudly proclaim that my work can be seen in homes across the UK and over seas.
Thank you to all who have supported me & to those who have
purchased & commissioned my work.
A FEW HIGHLIGHTS AND PROUD MOMENTS.
*Mr Paul Weller a very famous singer bought one of my Oxford Canal paintings in the old days when he was recording at Shipton on Cherwell Manor House.
*Held many solo exhibitions at ORH hospitals since 2000.
Judging from feed back my work has brought much pleasure to many people over the years. Art helps to uplift peoples spirits.
*The Banbury Horton Hospital gave me quite a complement as they have a large permanent display of my floral & modern canvases which are much enjoyed by visitors.
*In 1998 I Joined the Guild of Waterway Artists, the group have a shared interest in painting UK waterways. We exhibited together at canal events & venues like the Braunston Historic Working Boat Rally show held every year in June.
