Kent Artist:
Michael McCarthy.

I was born in 1943 in Castle Donington, Leicestershire and soon after came home to South
London where I grew up. For several years I worked in the City and West End of London
and I have lived in Kent for many years.

Although I had always excelled at art subjects during my school years I did not pursue my art
interest in earnest until after taking early retirement when I have had more time for painting.
I like to experiment with subject matter but I am often drawn to paint scenes that are reminiscent of my own travel & vacation experiences which hopefully invokes a welcome
nostalgia in others as it does in myself. I usually paint in oils which I have found more satisfying than watercolour so far. I have not yet tried acrylics but I plan to do so as time permits.

I am self taught, was not lucky enough to attend art school in my youth but now enjoy taking inspiration and learning from the many tutorials available via books and television.
