Polka-dots, flat florals, and pretty girls. Sigh… lovely paintings by American artist Michael Carson.
“I like the fact that the face can be such a subtle subject and one brush stroke can be the difference in the feel of the entire piece. That gives me the ability to work in one subject matter and still find that I learn something new in every painting. I love to incorporate my love of design, fashion and architecture into my work. My nondescript surroundings help me to create a mood or a story that I am trying to relay through my painting. Seeing how the work evolves, the subtle and drastic differences, and looking forward to the future is what keeps me painting. I view a painting as a success when I take from it something new that follows me into my next work. It’s just learning to become a better painter.”
Oh how dreamy! Oh how divine!

Where can I buy these prints?? I’m I’m love with his work!
I’m not sure … i’ll see if i can find any : )
Gorgeous gorgeous GORGEOUS!
They’re so beautiful and so unsettling at the same time – I’d love prints as well! 🙂
I really like the crude, almost careless approach to these pieces and the flux in tonal density is almost haunting.

I’m captivated. I gaze at them all day. I would love to have one to fall asleep at night too and be the first thing I see when I open my eyes.
that is so crazy… i was just writing a follow up post to this, AS you were leaving your comment?! weird. (and yes, i could gaze at them forever too!)
Amazing. Can these be purchased somewhere? Or does he have copied/prints of these for a more affordable purchase?
i think they’re just sold through his gallery rep, jones & terwilliger. here’s their 800# :

i’m not sure if he sells prints… i don’t think so, but don’t quote me on that!
I LOVE THE WORK… AND LIKE TO SEE MORE! THANK YOU. Kevin
I absolutely love your work. Hiromi
Fresh, clean…beautifully done. Kudos to you.
I look at Michaels work and I see Edgar Degas painting Ballet rehearsal from 1873…it seems like a similar style. It some how captures just enough detail
to allow the viewer the pleasure and the the ability to complete the painting …
They are great paintings but honestly up to $50,000!!!! Get real.
Beautiful work
