Whilst working "en plein air" Peter works the full day, which is unusual for an artist working from life. This gives the flow of paint a chance to become second nature and allows true instinctive marks to come through. His painting seems effortless and intuitive which is the key to his unique style, attempting subjects that other artists would shy away from. His sense of colour is instinctive and inexplicable to those who happen to see him working on location.
"Often because of my approach and choice of subject I attract on-lookers, which can be a hindrance but also a help as you can see what reaction you are getting to your work, a sort of instant criticism. Occasionally there is the persistent critic who has to share something with you, but generally people are very polite and understand the work is in progress and still developing." All comes into focus when the paintings are presented as objects in their own right, when they can tell a story, create an atmosphere and reflect the artists self assured passion for his subject.
