of an old artist threshing day until fairly recently this farming task could be seen at compton dundon between street and somerton where the wright family used to grow stook rick and thresh their own crops in order to obtain the the thatching straw for their thatching business which was founded in the 18th century for over forty years i have recorded the rural scene in my part of somerset in highly detailed watercolours old barns rusting tractors the dwellings and livestock of the countryside were the inspiration for my paintings which were displayed in my own studio gallery firstly in crispin hall and then later at clarks village the large outlet centre in street now due to arthritis and other troublesome age related nuisances i can no longer execute the fine detail for which my work was best known so i now have the time to create my own blog and give my trees the attention they deserve essays for a young artist in 2023 i read such a sad plea from a young artist on facebook who was worried about slow sales and even whether she should carry on my reply to her received such attention that i carried on writing a series of mini essays which were mainly a collection of memories of my own working days with some tips and advice thrown in the whole series as it progresses is now published here as a blog see my blog button above the direct link to my studio website where all my prints may be seen is no long open for business but may be used by anyone researching information about my images michael cooper s studio bonsai since i am unable to paint now i have at least been able to spend more time looking after my bonsai trees which had been sorely neglected during my gallery years i have joined the taunton and somerset bonsai club and with advice there from some really experienced members have made some great improvements to my tree it s the exercise i like defoliated above acer kashima through the year crab apple in september a birthday present from my wife susan in 2016 this website and blog you will finds most of the happenings on the my blog button above that is where all the action is and where things are to be added to as they occur to me afresh or as i trawl the deepest recesses of my past memories so feel free to explore actually at my age it s easier to remember those past events than it is today s shopping list or where i left my keys the other buttons above are pretty self explanatory and the content of those pages is less topical and more informative about my background career work and interests not that there is much to
