This book is expressed in the changing nature of the artist's palette and subject matter. Infusing the mediums of ink and watercolor with that of acrylic glazing present a quick process that enhances the artist's desire to produce a large body of work which captures his internal thought process about what must be painted next. If the day is not recorded poetically in his journal, it must be inked on paper or canvas and thus thought out in color, quickly as there are always other images to catch. The bold contour line has become very important in Michael's painting as it lends his expressions to a more graphic and whimsical presentation. The goal is not as much to present a subject academically crafted and pleasing to see, but to decorate the environment with a story that is filled with mystery and meaning that reaches another's personal understanding, thus becoming a beautiful expression.
