I can’t let this summer go by without a beach scene! Get the van, get a tan, grab a man!
The painting I'm starting is a commissioned piece, it's sort of a blend between concept (where the client has an idea for a painting they want me to create) and portrait (where the client wants a painting of themselves, typically from a photo). This one the client contacted me with a concept and had a photo to go along with it, and while it is them in the photo, the are allowing me to make some alterations. It's just a few changes that make it work better as painting and let's me put my style and influence into it.
By the way, is it a portrait if they are facing away? :-)
"Christmas Time In The City" is my holiday piece for 2014. Definitely inspired by the warm romantic images conjured up in the song "Silver Bells".
Get 10% off the list price during the official Day of Issue on the Original & Prints. Now until approximately 8:00 AM EDT November 8, 2014.
Being a holiday piece it's offered in a very limited edition, only 12 Gallery prints and 25 Studio prints.
UPDATE: The original has sold to a private collector.
My latest piece is also the first work in my upcoming exhibit (more on that below). While the original is available now for purchase through Lyman-Eyer Gallery, it must remain with the gallery until after my 2014 Summer show.
UPDATE: This original is now available at Gallery XO in Wilton Manors Florida
My latest work, Cuddling was commissioned by Dreamspinner Press for an upcoming anthology of the same name. The pastel is about half the size of the ones I normally do, so there will not be a limited edition Gallery print of this piece.
Welcome to the art of Michael Breyette.
Michael's pastel paintings capture the stunning beauty of the male form with warmth and sensitivity while never shying away from lustful eroticism.
This website contains fine art depictions of male nudity, gay themes, and men in sensual and romantic situations. Do not enter if you choose to be offended by this subject matter.
Otherwise, if you appreciate the male form in all its glory, come on inside and enjoy!
