Mike Dutton is an up and coming illustrator living in the Bay Area, he’s a member of the Early Bird Painters collective. Another avid Plein Air artist and hell of a climber (I’ve had the pleasure of doing some bouldering with Mike and I sure got some good beta). I really love the piece he did for the auction, especially the cypress tree … what bold use of color. Look at those amazing lines. Great job Mike!
original acrylic painting is quite something…
I really love the sweetness of the colours here, AMAZING PIECE!
The composition is FANTASTIC too!
Aw shucks.
I must say I sure miss seeing my two buddies at the climbing gym, but obviously you’re both very busy with two different kinds of babies (one being the TFP, the other being an actual baby). I’m so excited about the auction, and look forward to seeing you guys there!
