Holidays
This drawing shows a travel agency like the one I visited with my father while living in Cyprus as a boy. It’s one of a series of shop fronts on the home page of my website that provide a link to different sections of my portfolio. Alternatively, you can click here to go to Painting 1980 – 2000.

Abstract Landscape
East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…subconscious abstracts emerge from observing the shoreline and the landscape.
Tree Study
East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back… this is a stunted tree I pass while out walking, my attempts to capture a likeness.
Summer scene
East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…two halves of a quick landscape sketch.
Shoreline
East Dean, so inspiring I keep coming back…walking along the shoreline I noticed interestingly shaped pieces of chalk surrounded by little stones.

Six new works were added to those shown at the Serra Sant’Abbondlo exhibition in September 2018.
Serra Sant’Abbondio, Le Marche, Italy 7-9 September 2018
Designed to coincide with this year’s festival of Santa Patrono in the town of Serra Sant’Abbondio, this exhibition showcases a small selection of Peter’s work from the last 20 years, during which he has become a regular visitor to this wild and mountainous region in north east Italy. His travels have resulted in a number of studies which capture its beauty and sense of history, on show here for the first time.
Serra Sant’Abbondio, Le Marche, Italy 7-9 September 2018. Architectural details sit alongside landscapes and natural forms, demonstrating a range of styles and techniques common to all of Peter’s work. A highlight of the show takes the form of a series of studies of the local mountain, Monte Catria, which illustrate its changing shape and character throughout one day in the summer of 2011, taking the viewer on a journey from morning mist to evening twilight via a wide range of striking, interpretive styles.

The Arch series
#structuralcurves – noble grandeur
Arches are often associated with triumph, power and grandeur, commemorating a great event or in praise of a noble personage, supporting ideas of nationhood or commendable character traits.
However, arches are more commonly used to support structures, roofs, railways and roads – useful and utilitarian structures. The arches in my paintings incorporate the qualities of both aggrandisement and physical structural support, with a little something left to the imagination.
