For 26 years he travelled the world painting and exhibiting throughout and then, in 1989, his passion for art prompted him to take early retirement as a major to paint full time. Settling first in Aberdeen, his birthplace, Mike soon received widespread acclaim for his artwork, fulfilling a number of high profile portrait and landscape commissions. Together with his wife Mary he also ran residential painting holidays at their home ‘Wood of Shaws’ in Aberdeenshire and tutored artists in North Africa, Tuscany, Slovenia, Crete and France. For the past few years Mike has also combined his love for travel and painting by tutoring occasionally on international cruises. Accomplished in watercolours, oils and pastels he has a reputation as a considerate and encouraging tutor who ensures that everyone receives plenty of genuine guidance and teaching. Mike is looking forward very much to joining us at The Creative Retreat.
