  • I love Parkes art...Since I discover a catalogue in a library...Simply a thin suspire of a dream (sorry for my bad english!). And this music (what music is this?) is perfect do describe a Venus...

  • Thank you Idrusa71. The music is from Iraqi folk music about an ancient ritual dance in Sumerian time.

  • I thought pictures were special to each individual viewer, to create unique feelings to each viewer ... it is really interesting to hear what the Artist was thinking ... so different from what I think

  • A viewer's thoughts on a painting are also valid, even if they are different to the artist's. I am happy when my work causes a person to explore their imagination. Michael Parkes

  • i adore his work and wish so much he would exhibit in london

  • The problem is that you are using your left brain to understand a right brain subject. It does not have to be understood in a linear fashion. If you stand on the edge of an abyss, what does your mind do? Ideally, your mind stops thinking. Just enjoy the view or look elsewhere. I try and explain what I am painting, but I want people to simply enjoy what they see and make their own interpretations. See my Facebook page where I often explain more. Michael

  • I am trying to understand Parkes art. Could someone explain to me his obsession with swans accompanying ladies with polar wings. His art always seems to be based on high summits where only a small peak of a "ground" as we asssume it to be is drawn but the rest is just sky.

  • Beautiful and imaginary artwork.

  • Well aint that the purdiest thang I ever did saw! Embellished and with real gold too. I is gonna get me one o' them fur my trailer. Are them thar paintens available on real black velvet yet? That would bring tears to my eyes f'sure...

  • Wow, I am speechless....Fantastic work.
