Michael is represented in Scottsdale by Joan Cawley Gallery located at 7135 E. Main Street and is the featured gallery artist for this event. They comment on his work and on this painting in particular:“Michael’s work depicts the heritage of the American cattleman and rancher. Every image he paints is a precise moment in time — you can feel the energy and motion. Michael chooses vibrant colors and compositions with emotional impact. In addition to his numerous awards, in 2008, the prestigious Booth Museum of Western Art, an affiliate of the Smithsonian Institute, purchased Michael Swearingin’s “Cowgirl And The Vaquero” for their permanent collection in Cartersville, Georgia.“
