« Thé Death of Sardanapalus » sometimes I am drawn to create something entirely abstract, where I can play with an almost intuitive approach to colour, line, form and tonal values. I ended up quite liking this small abstract on canvas. It’s been gracing the walls if my studio all Summer. But now I feel I should let it go. DM if you’d like to purchase a little dynamic abstract to brighten your wall #abstractart #acrylicpainting #delacroix #manchesterartist #northernart #galleryart #artcurator #buyartfromartists #artistsofinstagram #kunst
“I Will Never Let You Go” Dedicated to all those who are struggling with loss. This large format acrylic painting on deep edge canvas is now varnished. It will be ready to go to the framers next week when I get back to my studio. #mikewaldronart #manchesterpainters #northernart #galleryart #curatedart #figuritivepainting #artoninstagram #torchsong #1950s #symbolistpainting #powerfulwomen #artforsale #acrylicpaintings #styleinspiration
“Watching The Harvest” Sometimes I like the simplicity of block printing . #linocut #manchesterpainter #blockprint #nostalgia #rurallife #countryliving #figurativeart

« TB Check » An oil on canvas that I painted a while ago, whilst I was exploring the theme of migration. TB Checks were routine for migrants arriving to Ellis Island, New York, principally from Europe. A number if my own family arrived to both New York and Boston at the turn of the century. #oilpainting #migration #figuritivepainting #collectart #americana #medicalhistory #mikewaldronart #manchesterartist #northernart

One of the best things I’ve discovered this Summer is Root2Ginger’s pure ginger. It is the basis of my favourite Summer drink, and here it’s partnered with a Thai beef noodle dish, with a generous slug of R2G’s new Fierce blend. It’s fab.
“Singing By The Fire”. A new acrylic painting, depicting a couple of advancing years, in their West of Ireland home, recalling songs from their youth. I wanted to try to capture the unusual warm light from flickering flames and oil lamps. Available for purchase. #art #manchesterpainter #northernart #galway #westofireland #galleryart #galleryartists #1930s #nostalgia #artcurator #bollington #couplegoals #companionship #cottagecore #kunst #peintre #artforhotels #artforrestaurants #grandparents #contemporarybritishpainting #folksongs #singing
« Heel » A new acrylic on primed canvas. I wanted to try to capture the fluidity and immediacy of 50s and 60s fashion illustrations, in a medium, on a scale and on a platform that they are not usually associated with. It wouldn’t be me if there wasn’t the hinterland of a story behind her inscrutable expression. #art #artistsoninstagram #figuritivepainting #acrylicpainting #manchesterartists #northernart #mysteriousgirl #nostalgia #1960s #60sfashion #60smakeup #periodstyle #beehivehair #mikewaldronart #strongnorthernwomen #vintagevibe
« Harvesting Seaweed-Galway » I am back in the studio after a few weeks away. So happy to have brushes in my hand again. I have completed this acrylic on canvas this week. It can be purchased here if you’d like it. Just DM me. Whenever I turn to the sea, I swing between Impressionism and abstraction; but this is definitely influenced by my recent sojourn in Newlyn. #seascape #seascapepainting #galway #connemara #ireland #fishermen #acrylicpainting #northernart #manchesterpainter #buyartfromartists #figurativeartwork #galleryart
