| Introduction | Michael Steinberg has been painting since the mid-1960’s. He graduated from the University of Florida with a degree in Art, studying primarily under nationally renowned painters including Lenny Kesl, the late Stuart Purser and Hiram Williams. In his college years most work was large scale figurative abstracts in acrylic. Today, Michael’s focus is on painting animals, landscapes and still life in a painterly representational style. He also enjoys painting close up views of cows emphasizing the unique characteristics of the animal. Living on a 100 acre farm including wooded hammocks and lush pastures in North Central Florida, there are plenty of opportunities for a painter to find. Michael finds inspiration in all of this, whether finding objects to include in a still life, a pasture with the bright morning light; cows back lit by the setting sun or simmering in the last light of the afternoon. Pet portrait commissions are warmly welcome. You can reach me by e-mail at MichaelSteinbergPaintings@gmail.com |
| Interests | Painting subjects that are of interest. I paint cows because I find their faces and attitudes interesting. I live on a farm in North Central Florida and enjoy walking among the cows in the pasture at different times of the day, from dawn to beyond dusk. Sometimes a simple still life with fruit is interesting as it allows me to examine the color, surface and imperfections that make it unique. |
