"Spring Sunshine on Sennen Beach" by Michael Richardson

 

This beautiful painting capturing all the charm and magic of Cornwall!! - painted en plein air in Cornwall!!! 

It felt a little strange, almost voyeuristic to be perched up in the rocks at the back of the beach, wrapped up in a trapper hat, scarf and padded jacket looking down on a fairly bright day with a temperature of perhaps 13-14 C but a nasty windchill from a fresh northerly wind, looking down on bikini clad lovelies and their hunks getting tans. Amazingly some of them were a bit brown. Perhaps my personal debate about whether this had much to do with the very limited rays on offer or whether it all came from a bottle or a tanning studio might have affected my concentration, but it was still a fun afternoon. Curiously I recognised some of the people from the beach in the pub later and they were all wrapped up in Puffa Jackets and Gilets looking for all the world as if they had been skiing! Is it just me that is out of step to put clothes on to go out on a cold day and take them off to go indoors? Should I really have felt underdressed in shirtsleeves in a nice warm pub?

Michael Richardson 

 

Michael Richardson was born in 1943 in North London. His fathers illness forced the family to move out of London after the war ended to Ipswich in Suffolk, a particularly pleasant rural county in the South East of England also known as "Constable Country".

He was encouraged to take further art education on leaving Ipswich School in 1960 and trained at Ipswich School of Art as a sculptor and painter 1960-1962. At this time a keen interest in sailing led him into a career in the marine industry where he specialised in sail design and manufacture. 

During this period he maintained his interest in art and returned to full time painting in 1992.

As a result of his marine industry experience he is drawn to subjects containing boats and his knowledge of the way they are designed and built lends authenticity to his marine work. 

 

 

A prolific output, in watercolour and oils has found homes all over the globe, a large number of which are in America. 

He has organised several overseas painting holidays for other artists in France Belgium and Holland. He has also travelled extensively painting throughout Europe, The Far East, Indonesia, New Zealand, Australia and the USA.

His main current interest is in plein air painting enjoying the challenge of working fast in all weathers in front of the subject. 

He is a member of the famous Wapping Group of Artists, probably the oldest outdoor painting society in the UK which numbers several of the most prominent British landscape and marine artists, The Chelsea Art Society, Council Member of the United Society of Artists and is a founder member of the Brass Monkeys Art Society, a "hard core" group of winter outdoor painters. 

He has exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts, The Royal Society of Marine Artists, The Royal Institute of Oil Painters and The Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour at the Mall Galleries in London.
