We are moving to beautiful Gig Harbor
next weekend! For those who don't know Gig Harbor,
it is a small forest community out on the Puget Sound
in the Olympic Peninsula just across from Seattle... lots
of rain, trees, ocean, lakes, mountains, bald eagle and LANDSCAPE
PAINTING!! I plan to break out the old easel and oil paints so I can
start painting large again. I will also be set up to work from
home as a remote artist for Dreamworks. These are some
photos I took of our house and the surrounding areas
of Gig Harbor.
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteI've enjoyed your blog for the last couple years. I live in the Burbank/Glendale area, so I'll miss your renderings of the local sights, but what an awesome place you're moving to.
Best wishes.
Two shots from the top are simply Fantastic!:o)
ReplyDeleteGood luck Mike! Sounds like a great arrangement to me -- and what a great landscape to paint. I'll be checking your blog to see what you post. -- Kevin
ReplyDeleteWelcome to Gig Harbor! I hope your family likes it here as much as mine does. Gorgeous home, too! I'd love to feature some of your art on my community blog sometime: http://GigHarborUndressed.com (it's G-rated, just a funny name!)
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, the place looks great. Let me know when you get settled and I'll come up and paint with you!
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, i'm an old student of yours from art center. Welcome to WA. Any chance of a landscape workshop or class in the seattle area? Beautiful place btw.
ReplyDeleteHey Marty! I will get in touch with you as soon as I settle in.
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you!!
Mike
Hi Steve,
ReplyDeleteI do plan on teaching some workshops there but haven't had the time to put it together yet.
I will post details as soon as I can.
Mike
Wow! Great to hear that you've moved to WA. I'm young kim and also one of your students in art center. I can't wait to have workshop with you soon.
ReplyDeleteHey Mike, great news- can't wait for the workshops. Let me know when you have more details, thanks.

ReplyDeleteToo bad you won't have any landscape subject matter to paint up there...wait. Oh, yeah. Freaking Washington is going to be amazing for a painter like you! My friend has lived in Gig Harbor for years and loves it. All the best to you and I hope to see some Gig Harbor-inspired paintings soon! :)
ReplyDeletewow..it's beautiful!

Hi Mike,
ReplyDeletewelcome to Seattle! I am a recently graduated art centerite who has admired your work for a long time. I have had countless fellow art center peers who have taken classes and/or workshops with you and I have always wanted to do the same but you stopped teaching before I was eligible to take the course. Alas!
I hope your transition into seattle is a seamless one! Once again, welcome welcome!
AMAZING!!!! finally a place were you can extend your legs!!!!
ReplyDeletehope to visit you soon up there...but if i go, i will end up to buy the house close by!
i miss you too, big brother! i wish you a lot of happiness and kick ass paintings.
see you.

Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteHow about a blast from the past? It's Beth Burke now Breyfogle. I attended a production of "Guys & Dolls" yesterday that three young men from my church were cast. It brought back HS memories and so I began looking up names of people I remembered in the AHS production.
I'd love to get in touch with Lenore and Natalie. I am definately going to add your blog and Edmond's blog to my links.
Keep in touch!
Have a grrreat time Mike. Looks like a beautiful place to paint. Congratulations on your show.
ReplyDeleteYour new house looks beautiful! I'm totally jealous, btw awesome awesome work!!!

Oh you lucky so-and-so! Gig Harbour's one of the sweetest communities on the Peninsula. Color me ten kinds of jealous. May you enjoy the Pacific Northwest to the fullest and may that land treat you kindly. You'll be missed. I got an awful lot out of that demo you taught at LCAD. Thank you for being so willing to give back.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good. I do not know who you are but certainly you're going to a
