Michael Treanor is a self taught watercolour artist who devotes countless hours trying to create mood and atmosphere in his work. He explores the infinite possibilities available to the artist working in the medium of watercolour. Inspired to achieve light, transparency movement and fluidity in his work, Michael Treanor has developed his own distinctive style from experimentation and a personal desire to represent landscapes in a subtle and dramatic way. The qualities he most admires in watercolour painting are freshness and spontaneity and endeavours to achieve this in all his work.
Michael particularly enjoys representing the street life of Liverpool and in particular the less recognised city scenes. The coastal stretch from Crosby to Formby constantly challenges his atmospheric watercolour skills.
Michael's creativity as an artist led him appropriately into the world of photography, where for a number of years he has been shooting dramatic landscape visions that support his watercolours. In addition Digital Sports Photography has most recently developed primarily through following his young sons at sports events. This is now an area where he specialises utilising the most advanced digital EOS lenses. Michael is able to capture unique sporting moments with acute accuracy and definition. This combined with his natural artistic creativity and his own individual stylized presentation methods sees him able to produce stunning photographic images.
