CHASM (2000) Acrylic on Panel - 30" x 20" I keep a sketchpad next to the bed for recording ideas which arrive as I am falling asleep or waking up... prime time for my "muse channel." 1/2 #fineart #personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fadedstar

ORBIS SCIENTIARUM (1997) Acrylic on Panel - 24” x 36” It is frequently assumed that if we try hard enough, there are no limits to our understanding of the universe. 1/4 #fineart #personalvisions #imaginativerealism #fadedstar

FREEFALL (2001) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 12” Another small reflection in the “Faded Star” series of my gallery work. Like LEAP OF FAITH, this was a visual representation of the unease and excitement I felt at jumping into fine art painting with the barest of lifelines to sustain me. https://www.michaelwhelan.com/galleries/freefall/ #art #fineart #personalvisions #imaginativerealism#fadedstar

OUT OF THE SHADOWS (2014) Acrylic on Panel - 12” x 24” With this painting I revisit themes developed in my "Passage" series, featured heavily in my first couple of one-man shows at the Tree’s Place gallery. 1/3 #fineart #personalvisions #imaginativerealism #passage #fadedstar
