On the Summer Solstice of 2007, my wife and I had taken a carafe of Margaritas to the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to celebrate the sun setting on the longest day of the year. We had the place to ourselves as we sat on the very point between the rivers. To the west, in front of us, flowed the Missouri River and to our backs lapped the waters of the mighty Mississippi. We sipped our drinks and silently watched this glorious sunset over the Missouri River.. I later made this pastel painting using a style called "dusting" where I drop particles of pastels on the board to create these unique colors.

Welcome to the visual world of Garry McMichael, painter and photographer. I think of myself as the documentarian of the mundane, whether it’s a rural school bus on a country road, an urban skyline, forgotten objects, or the activities of people doing ordinary things. To draw attention to my subjects I attempt to capture them during those fleeting moments when the atmospheric conditions and the ever-changing light come together in a flash of visual inspiration. It is at those moments that I attempt to turn everyday situations and objects into unforgettable imagery, be it in the form of a photograph or a painting. For over three decades I have explored Middle America, especially the Ozarks, capturing its beauty, people and objects with the camera, charcoals, pencil, pastels and paint. Whether you are inspired by the ebb and flow of the Mississippi River, a quiet walk through the rugged Ozark mountains, or watching a summer thunderstorm roll across Kansas I hope you will appreciate the art of Garry McMichael. Enjoy.
