Good Start To The Day

Michael Ashcroft ROI MAFA | Oil | 12 x 12 inches 

Born in 1969, Michael John Ashcroft grew up in a small village called Croston in the heart of Lancashire, and from an early age, he had a keen interest in all things arty. After leaving school in 1985 with top grades in art, he began his career as an engineer, painting and sketching only in his spare time. In 1998, he had a major operation to remove a brain tumor and decided to paint more seriously. He returned to college and completed numerous classes in art, including A-level fine art, OCA in portraiture, and life drawing classes, which he continues to do weekly.

His paintings have evolved over the years from early abstract acrylics to using oils and more representational works. The foundations that underpin his paintings haven’t changed and that is his fascination with light and dark and his love for the city and the landscape.
