· Palettes are now per direction (chips above each option), built around Mike’s two most-used colors — maroon and turquoise. Deep Current and Panel White are gone; stark white survives only as 1b’s drafting sheet, where it’s doing a job. Yes, one of them is named Peach Mint.
· 1b ramified: full drafting-sheet treatment — dimension lines, corner marks, spec rows, a title-block footer — and the carpentry is now part of the story (frames & display easels built in-shop).
· 1c now reads as a letter before you read it: letterhead, salutation, drop cap, handwritten signature, pieces mounted as “enclosures,” signup as a P.S.
· 1a stays the safe classic, warmed up: matted hero, a painted rule from the art, maroon buttons.
· Still true: 4 launch pieces, 2 × 4 ft panels; only Fuller’s Field is a real title; buying is by inquiry; images deliberately low-res; one signup list.
Hi, I’m Mike.
I pour acrylic across wood panels — most of them two feet by four — and build each frame myself. Every piece is one of one: signed, priced, ready to hang.

About the work
I work with poured acrylic on wood panel. The paint moves; I steer. Most panels are two feet by four — big enough to get lost in, small enough to hang in a real house.
Every piece is one of one, and the woodwork is mine too — I build and finish the panels, frames, and display easels myself. When a panel sells it’s gone, and I’d rather it live on your wall than lean against mine.

A REAL PIECE OF WALL.
Most of my working life has been spent listening to people. Painting is where everything I can’t put into words ends up — poured across a wood panel until it looks the way a story feels.
Each panel is one of one, on wood I cut and frame myself. I’ve enclosed the first few below. If one of them says something to you, write me — I answer everything.

About Mike
drop one in ]
By day I do homelessness outreach — I should have retired a while ago, but there are still people to find. Most of that work is listening: to stories that are complicated, unfinished, and nothing like they look from the outside.
The paintings come from the same place. I pour acrylic across a wood panel and let it find its own way — colors that weren’t supposed to mix, mixing, and turning out beautiful anyway. I don’t plan them so much as pay attention to them.
The woodwork is mine too. I was a contractor once; I still build and finish every panel, frame, and display easel in my own shop. Every piece is one of one, most of them two feet by four.
