Twisting River
One of a series entitled, “ Land in the Clouds”, all based on photographs of cloud formations. The shadows of the clouds are still apparent top and centre. Created with ink markers over a photograph of a cloud formation, Peter invites the viewer to follow the river into the heart of the landscape giving a sense of an old NZ. Using a style of Pointillism, a technique of painting where small, distinct dots of colour are applied in patterns to form an image. This is sure to make a great addition to any home, space or office. Made in NZ with love.

Peter's early art experiments were likely abstract reflections of his lifestyle as a young man, passing time between mustering stock and sleeping. Later in life, he again picked up his passion for art and began to pursue it more intensively. As his style evolved, he began to consider his work as predominantly abstract landscapes.
Peter currently resides in the Waikato, with his wife and is fortunate to paint from his studio every day. The green pastures, rolling hills, and bright blue skies that stretch as far as the eye can see serve as his daily inspiration. His artistic practice and subject matter vary based on what he observes, what comes to mind, and what he captures with his hands. He is particularly fascinated by metallic effects and often uses photographs of clouds as a foundation for his landscape paintings, combining the mixed media aspects of watercolour, ink and pastel.
Peter has exhibited his work and is excited to transition into the digital realm, aiming to gain momentum with his art and establish sustainability for his retirement years.
