Peter F Monaghan

My name is Peter F. Monaghan, and I am a self taught fine artist of contemporary realism based in the heart of the English Lake District. Trained as a forester and building surveyor. I work in both oil and pastel, pastel being the medium used in the sketches for the finished oil on board paintings. I paint what interests me and am not bound by subject, it is the story or the feeling behind the subject that inspires my work.
