Originally a graphic artist with several London-based interior design firms, Donovan now travels extensively, often living and working at a foreign locale for many months so that he can infuse his art with the spirit of its culture. His contemporary, mixed media works combine traditional painting techniques with handmade textiles and painted paper, embellished with cultural and design motifs. During his travels, Donovan collects artifacts in various mediums which he incorporates into his artworks.

“Mediterranean Gold”, the work of Michael O’Toole, is suffused with golden light that seems to illuminate from within. Originally an architect, O’Toole developed a lustrous Impressionist style characterized by landscapes, seascapes and portraits cast in a vibrant glow and intensified by deep shadows. His passion pours through all of his works, whether they are rendered in acrylic, watercolor, pen and ink, or other mediums.

Reflections with Pooh and Friends Art Sale

This is absolutely gorgeous piece of Art Work and I know my 4 yr old would love it.
At a little under $55NZ it’s a bargain and definitely something that will bring a lot of joy to the kids.

Art Sale has noticed a couple of alarming issues with being found in the search engines recently. Not good. How are you supposed to find us if the search engines can’t find us.

Obviously the owner of Art Sale doe’s not know how to get ranked on the search engines (that’s me so I am allowed to give myself a kick.)

So Art Sale is now going to not only focus on bringing you the art work that inspires me but also focus on ranking reasonably well in the engines. (Page 15 after all is not good).

wish me Luck.
