The Oystermen Artist

Produced by: Mike Plummer
Original Air Date: February 23, 2011

Meet Michael Harrell, a local artist, brought to our attention by one of our viewers. Michael paints in oils and watercolors and among his nautical themes are depictions of the oystermen of Florida and South Carolina. This video looks at that series of paintings. The thing that I found so beautiful about his work is his ability to capture a sense of time with his portrayal of light. You can find additional information about the artist at MichaelHarrellArt.com .
