Kenogamisis Raven


Brian J. Michon
“Kenogamisis Raven”
Acrylic and some casein
24″ X 36″

“This past summer we went exploring around town and ended up at Kenogamisis Lake in Geraldton Ontario. I had a lot of fun painting this but the water really tested my patience, which is what attracted me to do this painting in the first place. It started off only as a landscape but was suggested by a good friend (Shirley) that I should add the raven and from that point there was no turning back.”

Dancing with Clarity

Acrylic on canvas
24″ X 48″
(Portrait of Victor Chapais)

“When viewing the dancers, I often imagine them bravely working through their trials and tribulations, while at the same time giving themselves to the Creator. The conviction in doing so allows one to break through the mist and see things with clarity.”

Brian calls the painting – “Dancing with Clarity”.

Along with his amazing portraits Brian enjoys painting landscapes.

Brian finished this painting prior to Christmas 2017.  The painting is called Fancyman, which happens to be the name commonly associated with this dancer.  His real name is Francis Goodchild.  Brian wanted to keep the painting in the same vein as his previous paintings which incorporates a colourful, abstract background with the portraits.

Along with his amazing portraits Brian enjoys painting landscapes.

Reflections

Brian J. Michon
“Reflections”
30″ x 60″
Oil painting

“Spent a few years on this painting, most of which it just sat there without me working on it. It’s called Reflection and is pretty much self explanatory (I think). I guess it’s quite personal and something I had to go through at a young age to get to where I am now. It’s not so much a religious painting, instead I use the imagery to portray an inner faith compelling me to do the right things, at least in this case. I assume it’s an ongoing issue we all go through regardless of the subject matter.”

Spirit of the Dance #5

Brian J. Michon
“Spirit of the Dance #5″
Acrylic on canvas
24″ x 36”
“Here is another painting in my Spirit of Dance series (number 5) in which I attempt to employ a very loose and quickly executed approach. The primal feel taken by the dancers, is hopefully what I convey in my work when attempting to portray the nobility and courage of the dancers.”
