| Mike was born in a small New Forest village half way through the last century. He began to demonstrate a natural talent for all forms of art at a very young age and won his first painting competition when he was just eight years old with a watercolour landscape entry. He painted this piece using a set of water colour paints and brushes that he'd won as a runner up in a national Kellogs competition a few months before.
One of his very early works got him into serious trouble with his parents when, at the age of four years, he decided to paint the family dog with red enamel paint that he'd found in his Fathers workshop. The result pleased him so much he followed up by also painting his Wellington boots to ensure good coordination prior to his first exhibition in the kitchen. He won a sore backside but nothing would stop his determination.
By the age of ten he was making good pocket money by selling cartoon drawings to his school mates...
