Earlier this year I got in the zone to create some large works for my show at Whitewall Art Projects. In these two paintings I worked with a limited palette focusing on tone, light and atmosphere.

If you follow me on Instagram @steve.salo, you’ll know how much I love Michael Harding handmade oil colours. The soft buttery consistency, the blending of one hue into another, the vibrancy and the fact I can paint for hours without getting a headache — they are the best paints in the world.

A few years ago I was fortunate to join a workshop by Michael Harding when he visited Melbourne and this week a dream came true when I was included as one of the featured artists on the Michael Harding website.
