Merry Christmas to you and your family Michael, my very best wishes and unlimited inspiration for 2022! A terrific portrait of one of your favourites, glad you’re still painting!

Thanks Fiona. I still love you even though I don’t see you much these days. I’m trying to advance my career now as a drone pilot/photographer, like Wing Commander Lord Flashart in Blackadder.

Great to see your work again Michael. Dali. Surrealism just had to be when he arrived on the scene. Great portrait of the showman of art.

A master and a masterly painting

Red leader, Red leader……bet you look spiffing in your Wing Co. uniform Mick……don’t go too high with your drone, it might bring on a nose bleed! You still have a piece of my heart and always will, take care of it ❤️

You captured him very well Michael! Good luck with the drone, hope the ufo’s don’t grab it 🛸👽

A very Happy Christmas to you Michael - I have noticed a drone above the beach recently…I made a few gestures…
