About The Artwork
From an early age I had a total obsession with painting and making models of sailing ships, it´s not left me! Here we have two of the most famous tea clippers racing back with their cargoes of tea in 1872. The Cutty Sark is ahead and gains several hundred miles as the ships head westwards across the Indian Ocean. 150 miles east of the Cape of Good Hope the Cutty Sark encounters severe weather and loses her rudder. Being out of action for a week, while a new rudder was constructed and fitted the Thermopylae took the lead and was the first ship to reach London. Painted in a style typical of the masters of 20th century marine art. In places accurate detail abounds and in other areas, like the sea, the painting is quite spontaneous to emphasize the movement of the water. The painting is being offered for sale framed and ready to hang. Framed in a carefully selected hand finished high quality frame. Exterior frame size: 29 x 45.5 inches.

United Kingdom
I have long been fascinated with painting water and nudes in water. I find the reflective properties, the movement and the distorting qualities of water provide me with a wealth of challenges. I find that although my aim is always to produce a high degree of realism in my paintings I am constantly using sequences of abstract shapes to achieve an effect. "Peter's work has been seen around the world. In his paintings reflections of both classical and modern interpretations can be found. With superb and interesting techniques he infuses a harmony between natural realism and the painted surface creating subtle yet dramatic imagery. Influences can be identified from many periods of art history. In particular the realism of the late nineteenth century and the photo-realism of the twentieth century."
