Artist: Mick Cawston
About the
Artist:
Mick Cawston was educated at the Robert Clack school in Dagenham, East London and it was here that he won his first exhibition at the
age of seven. On leaving school Mick trained as a cabinet maker before signing
up in the army for three years. There, amongst other things, he did a six month
tour in Northern Ireland.
After the army he spent six months working as a motor cycle messenger in London, earning himself enough money to spend a few months
touring Europe. Throughout all this time
Mick's passion for drawing grew stronger and on returning from Europe he spent
six months sketching people's children on the pavements of Covent
Garden, in pastel at £3 a time. From here a London silversmith employed him to design
silverware, largely for the Arab market. However, interesting as this was, it
was never Mick's great passion and before very long he moved away from London
and spent the next three years living in a small cottage on a farm in Burnham-on-Crouch
and returned to selling his work on the streets, although this time his price
had gone up to £18 a drawing. Despite his price increase he could not make a
living and as a result he started to paint seriously in oils in the early part
of 1987. By the middle of 1987 he had been discovered by Sally Mitchell and by
the end of this year he had his first two limited edition prints published
after his work.
Mick Cawston never looked back becoming one of the country's top selling
published artists with a very strong following of country loving people. In
1996, Mick celebrated the publication of his 200th print, entitled Wildlife
200, which is a wonderful composite picture of British wildlife. The painting
was used in a children's competition, run by the national magazine 'The
Shooting Times', for young children to name all the animals in the picture. The
original painting, an oil on canvas, 24 inches by 36 inches was donated to the
Animal Health Trust where it was successfully auctioned for £3,000. Mick was
featured by Gundogs magazine in 1996 as one of the leading dog artists. He has
been featured in many magazines and his work has graced numerous front covers
of leading publications. The first time he exhibited at the Society of
Equestrian Artists in London,
with only the second horse picture he had ever painted, he won the award for
the best newcomer. The next year he was awarded full membership.
Mick Cawston's untimely death in 2006 was a great shock to everyone.
