If you’re looking for the perfect gift to give a young couple buying their first home, a couple selling their home after becoming empty nesters, or just someone who loves their home, Michael White might just have the perfect answer for you.
Think of an artwork of your favorite residence.
White, a former New Yorker who moved to Monmouth County three years ago and lives in Red Bank, has been taking advanced art classes since he was a young teenager. After high school, he was accepted into the Fine Arts Department at Cornell University, graduating from there with a degree in fine arts.
The artist also spent a year studying art in Florence, Italy and has exhibited in New York for more than 20 years. One of his works is a mural of the Queensboro Bridge, which is now in the Lion Match Building in Long Island. He also has painted Nunley’s Carousel in a mural at the Long Island Railroad Station in Baldwin.
Now, White specializes in accepting commissions for drawings and paintings in any medium, and any size, with an accent on pencil, ink or watercolors, and commissioned works generally 14 by 18 in size. He also works in oils and acrylics, as well as painting on canvas.
Although White has worked for so many years doing drawings and paintings from life, he now also produces his art renderings from photographs, bringing a feeling of verve and gesture to each piece, the result of his many years of doing live pieces.
Married and the father of two high school teens, White devotes his entire professional life to his art work. He does the commissioned house paintings for prices that begin at $400 and range according to size, the preferred medium and the amount of detail to be included. He can complete works in as little as a few days for a drawing, a short time longer for paintings.
A fascinating side benefit of White’s work is the same can also be featured on note cards or other ideas to extend the life and attention given to the specialized work.
