Peter loves to capture the fleeting movement of light as the weather shapes
the landscape below it with a sense of movement and freedom.
He works quickly and spontaneously, mainly using acrylics, sometimes watercolours.
Peter likes to let the colours fly.
All Peter’s works are originals, never prints.
He paints listening to music, particularly Pink Floyd or Radiohead,
which puts him into a rhythmic painting zone once a brush is in his hand.
The creative process is very important to Peter, often painting from
memory rather than being confined to sketches and photographs.
He loves creating new pictures.
Peter likes to be brave, different and to steer away from conventionality.
He describes himself as a ‘contemporary impressionist.’
Peter creates pictures of the Cumbrian coast, The Lake District and its mountains,
families enjoying time by the sea at Arnside,
with bright bursts of colour and energy, often full of primary colours.
Cadmium reds and yellows, vivid oranges, verdant greens, cerilean blues
and golden ochres -never black.
Peter likes to think that his paintings make people happy.
