The Story

Sir Paul came across my Exhibition in Bath at Walcot Memorial Chapel, in August 2010. I was taught by Roy East RA (Nominee) in Oxford during my schooling days. The painting is 60 inches by 48 inches on canvas. I used Winsor & Newton Winton and Acron paint. Also ProArt Sable brushes and Seawhite canvas. I took inspiration from Raphael's masterpiece of the same name. I however after examining Raphael's piece, decided to change the position of the figure. I chose the light source scientifically as about late morning, managing the shadows accordingly. St.Michael's expression is effortless, serene and saintly. The serpent is imagined, and has a malevolent glow to him. The piece took six months to complete and has been photographed, varnished and framed. I was also thrilled to be invited to exhibit at St.Augustine's Church in Swindon.
Sir Paul has taken delivery and last week I travelled to Bath to take some photos. 
I am now half way through the next painting-St.George killing the Dragon.
Prints are now available on paper and Giclee canvas. Please go to my website for details.
