Ducks at Hartley Wintney
This painting epitomises the saying ‘being in the right place at the right time’.
I was sitting on the bank of the pond for a while, just watching and listening to the birds coming and going. After realising I wasn’t a threat, a pair of ducks came out of the water and passed by, right in front of me. The light was in a position to make the border between the pond and dry land indistinguishable.

Fine Artist and Art Tutor
Oil Paintings, Pen and Ink Drawings
I am a Fine Artist based near Hartley Wintney in Hampshire but I also spend a few months of the year in Marbella in Spain, where I paint on location.
I studied ‘visual communications’ and completed a foundation course in the late 1980’s - gaining a distinction at the Cardiff Institute of Art and Design. I then worked in London as an Art Director for a number of leading agencies, before deciding to concentrate on oil painting and pen and ink drawing. I have been classically trained and my style has been described as similar to that of the 'Impressionists'.
My paintings and drawings are for sale and can be viewed on this Hampshire Artists site and in the Gallery of my website. I am also available to undertake commissioned work.
I offer art lessons.
Art Lessons
I am in the process of setting up art classes in the evenings for the Fleet area of Hampshire in the UK, and also in Marbella in Spain. I will naturally be teaching adult students how to paint in oils, and will also be concentrating on developing their drawing techniques.
The objective of the courses will be to focus on individual requirements. Everybody has their own preferences regarding what they like to paint or draw. I will endeavour to improve a student’s skill level, so they become more confident and proficient.
I also will be organising groups to join me during some weekends drawing and painting landscapes on location.
If you would like to know more about these lessons please contact me on the numbers or email address above.

Mike Johnson
Original Paintings in Oils and Acrylic and 3D Works
Always enthusiastic about drawing, Mike started by copying from comic books at the age of about seven or eight.
Pursuing further education in art was not encouraged at school (or home) so he studied zoology, sometimes known as the ‘artist’s science’ (possibly because of the amount of drawing involved).
A long career in computer software development didn’t allow for too much artistic progress, so Mike is now making up for lost time. He is fairly prolific and generally paints subjects based on places that he knows and enjoys, using either oils or acrylics.
Although his paintings are fairly figurative, his inclination is towards more abstraction. Unfortunately, the left side of the brain doesn’t always share this ambition and has an undue influence on the results.
Art Groups / Exhibitions
Chichester Art Society, Portsmouth Art Society, Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail and Hampshire Open Studios.
Mike exhibits regularly, including the Portsmouth and Hampshire Art Society Summer Exhibitions, Oxmarket Centre of Arts Exhibitions and the Chichester and Hayling Island Arts Trail.
