Michael King
Studio & Plein Air Painter
Artist Statement
My creative process involves painting over a prolonged duration, either in my studio from life or directly when I’m outdoors in the landscape. This approach grants me the advantage of time, enabling me to observe and identify the delicate variations in light that offer more than a mere momentary glimpse. For me, it’s akin to experiencing time itself.
