If your really into art, chances are you've heard of or about Michael Canning and his beautiful paintings. You've probably heard about him winning the prestigious Oriel Gallery Award at the Royal Hibernian Academy, Dublin back in May of 2007. Well he's at it again with his second solo exhibition. In October we welcome Michael Canning back to the Waterhouse & Dodd gallery for his keenly anticipated second solo exhibition. His first, in April of last year, was rapturously received and indeed all 26 paintings had sold out within four days of the opening. Since then, Michael has exhibited in Ireland and in America, to great critical and commercial acclaim. Thematically linked to previous exhibitions in that the compositions will feature the flora and fauna of Michael’s native Co. Limerick, this show will also include some dramatic works on paper, an aspect of Michael’s oeuvre that we did not cover in our first exhibition. Often large in scale, and utilising various mixed media, these works could be considered more challenging and experimental. We first exhibited these ‘drawings’ at the Art20 Fair, New York, in November of last year where they caused quite a stir, selling out on the opening night. Prices for paintings and works on paper range from £1,800 up to £7,500, and the exhibition will consist of 29 new and previously un-exhibited pieces. A fully illustrated colour catalogue will be produced to accompany the exhibition. On exhibition 29 October through 21 November, 2008.

Thank you very much for your great comments about my blog. I appreciate it very very much.
Yes, I love adding vintage into my mixed media. I am working on a canvas I hope really makes an impression. Audrey Hepburn circa breakfast at tiffanys.
