The Discerner Magazine April 2017 - Issue 13 | Page 8

The Discerner Michael Batey I have lived in Scotland for thirty two years and was born in Cumbria near the Lake District so you can imagine where a lot of the inspiration has come from. I paint mainly in oil in an ethereal manner painting from light to dark, none of my work is of somewhere particular it’s all in my head; I want the viewer to be transported to some place resembling or would like to find. Because I work outdoors every day I am seeing and feeling weather changes and moods especially if its stormy I seem to have the ability to remember the light. “Daybreak” - £2000 Oil on panel 68 x 55cm Available to view at the Discerner’s Residence in Mayfair “City Reflections” - £3800 Oil on panel 122 x 91cm T: 01387 371 339 8 “Revenant” - £3800 Oil on panel 122 x 92cm “The Clearing” - £2500 Oil on panel 90 x 73cm E: [email protected] W: michaelbatey.com For all enquiries, please contact Michael or Celine at [email protected] or 0207 491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om
