Michael's Watercolors is the culmination of a dream for Michael Shibley.
After working for over 30 years in an office environment---Michael recently retired and is now devoted to his art full-time. Beginning at a young age, he drew images of objects and people around the house and acquired his first camera. While on business travel, he made an effort to carve out time to sketch and paint. These activities helped him maintain his skills while he looked forward to the time when he could give painting his full-time attention.
His interests in sketching, drawing, and photography led him to painting while in architecture school at Virginia Tech. That interest has stayed with him for nearly 40 years.
Michael has always been interested in capturing light and shadow in the flow of transparent colors that is achievable only in watercolor. He focuses on landscapes, florals and gardens, and architectural elements in the landscape.
