Statement
MICHAEL J. REARDON
Oil Painting Artist
He is a self-taught artist born in Lynn, Ma. and currently resides there.
Studied with highly recognized and awarded Master oil painter Robert Farris of Woodend Studios.
He gets his inspiration to paint from the natural beauty and serenity of Nature which influences much of his life as well as my art work.
Nature has always been at the center of his interest and he loves finding those out of the ordinary scenes of to paint. It’s where he gets in tune with the peace and atmosphere of the area.
The beautiful natural scenes of farm houses, stone walls and fences, the majestic marshes and elegant waterways and the open fields of the country relax and motivate him to capture it on canvas.
It is these surroundings and influences that he believes are in his soul and come out in his oil paintings.
