go daddy stats shared that last week there were 875 visits to this website and i am sure more of the visitors were new rather than clients revisiting if only because there was nada followup from any of them and my clients aren’t shy.

how to bring visitors up to date on what we are about is a question i can offer answer to looking at what the internet has to say about what and how and why we paint and presenting the fact that, after some 14000+ paintings since 77′ some have found been placed  into auction houses going looking for the next chapter in their lives.

not sure if i made any mention of this before, but every so often i checkout the auction houses as occasionally my past works comeup for resale whenever they do and discovered that at winnepeg’s mayberry auction house  one of my october boy scout road works had resold for several times over the opening estimate, which bodes well even though there is nothing in it for me, at least at this point in time, especially as i liked the writeup they thought to put together about my work and presented during the auction of this painting and while i have had no reason to think one way or another about AI  i assume it shaped some of what was written up, or not and either way liking what they put up enough to share by reposting here even though it may possibly be drawn from several sources.

i found that AI has formed comments about me even though i don’t have one about it  and as such will share Mayberry’s writeup in a followup post, given all AI had to say about my work.

“Micheal Zarowsky’s watercolor work is known for its impressionistic landscapes that capture light and atmosphere, often with a textural quality and a move towards abstraction. His paintings, while rooted in realism, evoke a sense of place and mood, with a focus on moments in nature and quiet spaces. He also utilizes a unique technique of mixing acrylics with watercolor on prepared birch panels, which he then varnishes.”
