Here is the article in American Artist-March Issue. I am very pleased with the way the magazine portrayed the artwork. I also wanted to thank my friend Dean for writing the article.

About Me
- michael j. peery
- I Grew up in Idaho, with a werewolf for a brother (listen to the story at https://www.thisamericanlife.org/175/babysitting), a childhood of crazy and marvelous experiences with 5 siblings, potato fields, snobs from the local Country Club and nights so dark you could see the Milky like it was two feet away. Cattle mutilations and UFO's were the rage and I spent 5th grade in one of the last remaining three room school houses in our region. I remember watching original episodes of Star Trek and Night Gallery when there were only three channels on the TV. Love American Style was the comedy and of course Hee Haw was on every Sunday night. Each year we gathered around the TV, my mother would make colored carmel popcorn and we would watch the Wizard of Oz. I remember having great anticipation for my first day of school as a child and when it came time to leave High School, I didn't want to go. I have an Masters Degree and teach at three Colleges here in the North East. I guess it is fitting that I end up on a campus somewhere. I lived 8 years in New York City and attribute all of my artistic growth to my experiences there. Currently, I live on the shoreline of Connecticut with my dog.

Hey Michael. . .welcome to the world of the bloggers! Love your site and the artwork. I am going to link your blog on mine :)
Hello, Mr. Peery. I just finished reading the article in American Artist. I bought it just because of your excellent paintwork. Congratulations for your great achievement. My name is Jacob Jimenez Lechuga and I'm a painter myself. I'll keep looking for your updates and I'll add a link to your site in my own blog. Please know you have a new fan here in Mexico City.
Thanks Michael

Hey Michael, I love your painting at the Newport Art Museum, mine is hanging to the right of yours! I learned alot from you at Lyme, wish I had studied with you longer.
Hi! The article in American Artist was really inspiring. The series of paintings (heads in different directions) is very cool. I like your approach to painting portraits- and, nevertheless, your use and control of color!(-Shannon C.)
I picked up this magazine and bought it when I saw your work included. I love your style and technique of painting. I also noticed who wrote the article about you and recognized the name. I had met Dean several years ago on the sidewalks of NYC and bought some of his work. I love his work as well and it is still hanging in my home. Please say hello to him from me.
I love your work and was thrilled to find someone else who has discovered Ernest Meissonier. I too found him at the Quai D'Orsay some years ago and do not understand why he is not more appreciated, even in France. There is not even much about on the internet. The Wallace Collection in London has two little gems by him. One of a 17th century musketeer, one of a Punchinello character. He is long overdue for a revival. Congrats on the article. Berry Fritz
Thanks to all of you that have visited the blog site. I appreciate all the feedback and if at all possible would like to be able to stay in contact with you. For the latest comment from Berry, read the book "The Judgement of Paris" it covers the years of 1850-1890's. There is a considerable amount of coverage on Meissonier and explains the power and the fall of his fame. It is an excellent read and I would like to hear your comments once you finish. ONce again cheers to you all. Michael
Well, Well, Well! Finally the notice you deserve. I miss the opportunities to go out and see your work. I have always admired it. Keep up the good work.
I picked up American artist and read the article about you, I am so proud and jelouse. Your style blows me away! It looks like things are going great for you and you deserve it!
Jodi and I have been divorced for a couple of months now, she decided she didn't want to be married. ( and she has a new boyfriend) But, I have been concentrating on the kids and making sure their happy.
Maybe this summer I will fly out if that is cool with you and we will paint the town Red! What do you think? If your too busy I understand. Hope all is well. xoxo your 4th favorite cousin. Rod`
Mike, I'm very impressed. I'm going to go get the magazine today. You know the life of a school teacher, we have to wait to get paid sometimes to get the things we want. I loved your pictures and can't wait to see more. I love blogging, I started my own a couple of weeks ago. Love you and miss you. Susan
Mike, great job. I posted one comment but I guess it didn't go on so if there's two, it's just because I can't see. I love your pictures and can hardly wait to see more. I'm going out today to buy the magazine. You know we school teachers have to wait until pay day to get some things. I love blogging, just started one myself. So proud of you. Love you and miss you.
Susan
Michael. I came across your blog on Jamie's. Was so happy to see you when you where over last year. Miss you often and think of you too. Hope to see you this year. By the way I was asked to model for a local art group here in town. I guess we'll see how that goes. Had opportunities to in college when I was dancing just never did. I guess it will be interesting. Love you
