Landscapes in Oil
Mike Plunkett
As a child growing up, I was mostly inspired by my mother, who painted with oil for over 65 years before her health decline caused her to give it up. I finally picked up my paint brushes with her being " my master painting teacher". I starting oil landscapes painting at the age of 34. From there it grew to become a pleasant hobby especially when stuck inside during the winters. I get lost into each painting as I work the canvas. I can tune out my surroundings as I work, giving me a total relaxation into my hobby. Prior to any oil painting aspirations, I worked mostly in pencil sketching at the age of 10. This later led to my interest in oil painting. I continued art classes through school, allowing me to gain some basic composition and shadow knowledge allowing me to transfer what I visualize to a canvas. I continue to learn from every painting I complete. My inspiration today is my relationship with God and his awesome creation of nature.
