COMMISSION A PAINTING FROM MIKE. It is with great regret that I have to inform you that Mike sadly passed away November 2020 aged 81, but I, (his partner) will keep his shop here going and am happy to reply to any emails you might send to his own email address at mike@transportartist.co.uk.

Thank you Anne, our continuing friendship and mutual support is in my opinion vital to the freedoms that so many fine men and women were, and still are, prepared to defend with their lives. Millions of Brits will buy their poppy and wear it with pride for Remembrance Day and show respect observing the two minutes silence.
