Mick McGinty

"Manhattan Bridge"


8" x  10" original oil on panel

About This Painting

           Fresh from a recent trip to New York City I finally shot some photos of a bridge other than the Brooklyn Bridge. I did get some new shots of the Brooklyn that I can paint later but I'm glad I finally got some shots of this amazing structure. The painting is digitally photographed and adjusted to appear as close as possible to what the original painting looks like. Computer displays from your home may vary the images slightly.

Mick McGinty and His Work

To achieve his trademark fine detail, and high-realism, McGinty's original oils are created on traditional 1/4" panels. Masonite is first sanded, then a coat of professional-quality gesso is applied. When that is dry, it is sanded, and the process repeated until a near-enamel-smooth surface is achieved. Then McGinty seals the surface with a matte-finish, acrylic polymer. For McGinty, this surface is preferred over the textural weave of canvas, and lends itself to the higher degree of realism found in all his work.

Mick McGinty has been a professional artist, illustrator and painter for 30 years. His work has been seen literally around the world in advertising campaigns, movie posters, Hollywood billboards, greeting cards, and promotions. Shifting his focus to fine art is a joy to him, allowing him to step out of the commercial art world and create something tangible.

Selling the originals on eBay allows McGinty the pleasure of knowing his work is being enjoyed by others, and offers just about anyone the chance to own an original heirloom-quality oil painting, which can be handed down over the generations.
