Peter's Watercolour Art Gallery

Site description: Since I started painting in 2007 I have tried to work as an artist and painter in the English Watercolour tradition. The two subjects I love to paint are landscapes and seascapes.

I Draw my inspiration from the atmospheric and dramatic scenery ready available from both the Quantock hills in Somerset and various parts of the South Wales coastline, one with its steep and winding valleys and and the other with its rugged coast line.

Editors comment: Peter paints in my favourite medium, the paintings offer a delightful insight into the artists mind. Uncluttered, clear and focused on the task in hand. He mentions in his description about putting too much detail into his work, that's a tough call, it's easy to over-paint, more so in watercolour.
A mess usually results. The artist has figured that one out and the result is clear, inspiring contemporary watercolour paintings. I like all of Peter's work, it's a pleasure on the eye. Visit Peter Weston Here.

Winter barn

The Winter Barn painting above,  is quite beautiful, it has an American look about it, it is however another good example of how watercolour lends itself to snow paintings.

I shall start with, The Victoria Falls', anyone brave enough would try and paint this scene, I think Peter was very brave as this would have been extremely difficult, a very good result. The next one is 'Country barn', now this is very good, the perspective, nice greens and strong sunlight make this a success. 'Lindhome House' is quite beautiful, the artist has used a good colour combination which is highlighted by the strong sunlight.

The next row: A lovely sunset, 'Sunset on the Lake', most people enjoy a nice sunset and I believe this is a good one, gentle on the eye. Now this one I do like, 'The Farm', is well drawn and the stone treatment is excellent, again good colour choices. 'The Winter Barn', a lovely snow scene, there is something about snow and watercolour, they go together well.

The scope of this artist's talent is quite incredible. Visit Peter Weston Here.

strumble head lighthouse

The large image below, Strumble Head Lighthouse, is one of my favourites as well. The colours in this painting are beautiful, even the greens, which can be a nightmare to paint, are perfect.

The composition of the work is well thought out, in fact the whole painting is just lovely...

The third row, the 'Poppy Field' is a scene well suited to Peter, he has captured the moment very well. Next, 'The Bridge' a typical traditional watercolour, the artist has a good sense of colour and how the tones work in this medium, excellent. 'Snow on the Farm' is beautiful, probably one of my favourites, the artist doesn't overwork the paint, he just knows when to finish, tricky that one.

The last row: 'Castle Hill - Tenby', is my favourite, the perspective, the stone treatment, the greens, the composition, all of it is perfect. The next one makes me long for summer, a lovely country lane picture. 'Harbour Beach - Tenby', a plain old seaside street turned into a work of art, quite brilliant.
