Harrell’s work is reminiscent of American realists such as Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer. He is well known for his remarkable ability to capture the luminous effects of light. It is with an acute eye and dynamic sense of proportion that Michael senses his natural surroundings. His oils and watercolors have won numerous awards and can be found in corporate and private collections around the country including, MasterCard and American Express, with several paintings in the permanent collection of Paramount Pictures and appearing in, the movie, “The Truman Show.”
