What will I paint today?
When I look back to the beginning of 2020 ... Little did we know what lay ahead.
This morning, walking into my studio and setting up a canvas feels like an opportunity and a space where I can escape from the madness of the outside world, the doom and gloom and sadness. Art is about self expression and I hope that 2021 will bring out the lion within.
Be bold, be brave...

Elusive, silent and deadly. Spotting a leopard in the wild is always a thrill, they are masters of stealth, one of my favourite animals to encounter when exploring in the African bush.

In Search of Inspiration
An Artist is only as good as his last painting, and Peter constantly strives to explore new horizons with his art… whether it means a new approach, new technique or style or even a new subject…
Luckily for Peter this means that he often gets to visit out of the way places where the heart, soul and spirit of Africa stills beats to its own majestic rhythm.
Not all these expeditions are about gathering reference but rather a journey of rediscovery as an artist. An opportunity to reconnect with the African bushveld that reawakens ones love for the simple things like an early morning stroll in the bush or the whispering of the wind in the trees or even the heat of the rocks against your back as you become lost in the vast expanses of the the African skies.
