Photography Meets Art
Michaela 
“Michaela”
Michaela’s mother, Norma, lives in the county of Suffolk, time honoured home to many of the great English painters. Norma is a highly talented artist in her own right, as you can see from this painting, one of a number she has created from our travel photographs. This particular one is probably my favourite photo of Michaela, taken in her natural habitat: a bar. On this occasion, a bar in Molfetta, Italy.

I went to Molfetta for an afternoon in 2013. Took the train out of Bari. Did you go to Bari and if so did you like it?
Phil & Michaela
Yes, we did the other way, as in, a day trip by train from Molfetta, so we only had a day in Bari but yes we really liked Bari and all it had to offer. We even ticked off a bucket list item whilst there – eating sea urchin!

What a talented artist and how wonderful to have photographing memories of some of your travels transformed into another medium by a loved one.
Phil & Michaela
Thanks Annie, it is wonderful. I often get a text off Mum asking if she can paint one of my photos which is great 😁

This is lovely. She captured Michaela perfectly. How long did she have to pose, or was it done from a photo? Taken in her nature habitat, a bar…. love it. Our habitat too.
Phil & Michaela
Thank you. It was done from a photo, I wouldn’t be able to sit long enough to pose 😁
