Welcome to this weekends Inspiration  from Artists the bonus art is is Michael Ewart born 1940. Michael was born in Felton in in Northumberland and live there until he married in 1966 and moved to Ashington. Michael has been painting and drawing since was a boy , and to this day takes great pleasure each time he puts paint to canvas. Only offering original one off pieces allows Michaels paintings to maintain their unique style and exclusivity.  I hope you enjoy his excellent artwork :

Well, what a pleasant surprise. I know Michael and have two of his paintings . I recognise the locations of his paintings, primarily of the North East of England. I like his palette and painting style very much.

I did wonder if you knew his work Marjorie, how lucky are you to have two of his beautiful paintings. Would you show them ? .

I don’t know him I only know his artwork, sorry if I gave the impression that did . He is one of the artist I have had on my list for quite some time. Please do add your paintings on Sunday if you would like to , but don’t feel obliged.  What I’m trying to do is give as much variety as I can , what don’t want is just me choosing what and who I’d featured , I try to cover most types of painting  and hope that I do bring unknown artists to your attention. When I say unknown I mean not widely known , there are some superb artists just waiting for there work to be seen by a wider audience.

Your right Tessa it’s his every day scenes that attract attention, the way he paints a wet pavement, road is absolutely brilliant.

His work is amazing, he is definitely very talented, something the rest of us can only admire and aspire to become better artist. Thankyou for sharing x

He uses suggestive marks which can instantly be interpreted (eg, as pigeons) without any hard-edged detail at all: an illustration of what the word "painterly" means, and it's very hard to do: as I know well, since I constantly fail!  Interesting to compare this approach with, say, Peter Mork Monsted's, whom we covered a while back.
