Michael Godfrey describes his style as a combination of George Inness and Impressionism with the moods of an Albert Bierstadt painting. "I paint," he says "to help people notice the special moments that happen every day, especially the drama when light first splashes across a scene." From different perspectives and different times of day, Godfrey works to capture and interpret
the varying moods of light.

On a series of recent painting trips, Michael Godfrey traveled to paint the beauty of Ireland, England and France. Ireland was special with its rolling hillsides, small cottages, fields lined with stone fences and dotted with sheep. He said there was more beauty than he had time to paint...

Travel included Switzerland and the Alps, a location he has painted before, but called him back for more. This show will include some favorite 'local' painting haunts like the marshes along the Chesapeake Bay of Maryland, the colors and atmosphere of the Shenandoah Valley, to the grandeur of the Teton and Rocky Mountain ranges in the West.

Typically, Godfrey starts a major work using small oil studies done on location. These field studies provide color accuracy while photographs provide special details of scale and perspective.

Godfrey has shown his paintings in numerous national shows and museum exhibitions. He was one of 50 artists selected for The Haggin Museum exhibition, “From Sea to Shining Sea,” a two year traveling show focused on American landscapes.
