The art of Michael Lees
"The artist has achieved a form of sorcery. The painting comes to life as you gaze at it, suddenly there is a sound of movement, the bow wave ripping aft, sails drumming, the rattle of flying spray. This is a painting that will never merge with the wallpaper, it is a painting to be lived with!"
(Des Sleightholme - on a painting of the schooner Hoshi)

The Limited Edition When the original oil painting was painted by Michael the Island Cruising Club decided to produce a limited edition of 1000 prints to raise money for the maintenance of Egremont, Hoshi and Provident. The limited edition covered large lithographic prints and also covers the smaller framed prints shown here; these are being produced specially by the artist, Michael Lees, for the Island Cruising Club to raise money for refurbishment of the Egremont.
There are a few lithographic prints still available at £47. If you would like one please contact me by email |
