"Camp Road" (2024) By Michael Miller, Original Midwestern Landscape Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Michael Miller's beautiful original photorealist Midwestern landscape painting "Camp Road" (2024) depicts a Midwestern barn lying at the end of a dirt road, surrounded by forestry and farmland with a blooming cloud above, in a beautiful blue sky. Artist Bio/Statement: Michael Miller’s paintings try to capture essence of rural America. His tonal approach aims to give the viewer a sense of nostalgia and reflect on a way of life that is slipping away. My work is a never ending quest to find the beauty and truth that lies in the simplicity of rural America. Growing up, my parents took me to many Civil War battlefields. Even at a young age, the barns and wide open well manicured fields made a huge impression on me. They seemed to be frozen in time and there was something sacred woven into those places. I started painting landscapes because I didn’t know how to express my love for them in any other form. It is my hope that my work freezes a way of life that is passing, beckoning all viewers to reflect on some distant memory. I approach each painting differently, in the past I relied mostly on memory when building a composition. Today I’m focused more on the specific details and locations, trying to understand why I’m drawn to them and how they move me. Sometimes I’ll use reference photos or do a rudimentary plein air sketch of a location before taking it back to the studio and building from it. I like to think of my work as representational while borrowing techniques from tonalist and impressionist painters. I work primarily in oils and paint on linen and canvas surfaces. I strive to create a quality product by using some of the finest art supplies and pigments. I am self taught as an artist, though there have been plenty of artists who have passed down sage advice, as well as inspired me.
