His work is influenced by the first plein air artists of late 19th century Italy.  “Being an artist means learning how to see light and color in its constantly changing states. It is high drama that gets my heart pounding from the thought of being able to ‘catch it.’ ”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael paints with pastel. In the art world, pastel does not refer to pale colors, as the word is commonly used in cosmetic and fashion industries.  Pastel is pure, powdered pigment that is ground into a paste and rolled into sticks. The infinite variety of colors in the pastel palette range from soft and subtle to hard and brilliant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael applies masterful stokes of pastel sticks to acid-free, premium-sanded archival paper.  Pastel color are arguably more vivid and longer-lasting than oil paint because pastel does not contain any oils that invariably yellow over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichael Clements moved to Maui over 38 years ago after pursuing a career as a proto type machinist, horticulturalist, landscape contractor, and nurseryman. Through it all, Michael never lost his passion for painting that was kindled by his great-grandmother.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"accordionProduct\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panelProduct\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eDimensions: 12\" L x 8\" H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eMedium Used: Pastel painting on acid-free, premium-sanded archival paper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eFramed: All original paintings come framed and under glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrice includes a custom strong box to ship artwork.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"accordionProduct\"\u003eShipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"panelProduct\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll shipments may take a MINIMUM OF FIVE BUSINESS DAYS to be received as we are shipping from Hawaii.
