About the Artist:
Peter is a portrait artist who paints people and animals. He studied art at school and although he maintained this interest throughout his career as a Civil Engineer it was not until retirement in 2000 that he had the time to fully follow his ambition to become an artist. Portraiture had always enthralled him, especially the work of the masters such as Rembrandt. He is a strong believer that a good portrait is first of all one in which one will immediately recognise the subject. That is not to say that there may well be some artistic interpretation to reflect the character of whoever is being painted. He has also written articles on how to paint portraits, the most recent being published in the July issue of Leisure Painter Peter's work has been exhibited at the following galleries:- The Braithwaite Gallery, York (2008), The Dirleton Gallery (2009); The Harbour Gallery, Port Seaton (2009/10) and the Flat Cat Gallery, Lauder (2010).
