Steep Hill Lincoln

Steep Hill, Lincoln

The origial oil painting is in a Private Collection, and a few signed and numbered Artist’s Proof Limited Edition prints are still available for £45.

Peter painted the original from Castle Square, over several session, as well as working on it in his studio. It was while Peter was painting this scene, on location, that numerous people asked him if it would be for sale when it was finished. It was at that stage that Peter decided to produce the Limited Edition prints.  

 Lincoln Cathedral, from Castle Square

Lincoln Cathedral from Castle Square

The original oil painting is in a Private Collection, but some Limited Edition Prints, signed and numbered by Peter, are still available for £45.

The original painting was a commission, and it was the largest painting by Peter, with the canvas measuring 4′ x 5′. It took over a year to complete and by the time he had  finished painting it he didn’t want to part with it!  That was when Peter decided to make this his second Limited Edition print of Lincoln, as well as producing printed greeting / letter cards from the painting. It has proved to be very popular.

Lincoln Cathedral from the Brayford Pool

Lincoln Cathedral from the Brayford Pool

The original oil painting is in a Private Collection, but some Limited Edition Prints, signed and numbered by Peter, are still available, for £45.

Peter has painted this scene many times, on location  from the south side of the Brayford Pool. Each painting is always different, depending on the season, the weather or the time of the day.

The Brayford Pool is not only in the heart of the city, but it is of major historical interest as traces of a late Iron Age settlement were found on the east bank of the pool and the Romans certaily used it as a port on the river Witham.  

Lincoln Cathedral, from Broadgate.

The original drawing is in a Private Collection, but giclee prints are available for £55.

The original pencil drawing was a prize winner in a competion, organised by the Usher Gallery, Lincoln. The competition was  held to celebrate the work  of John Ruskin. 

This drawing remained in Peter’s folder, for many years, and it had almost been forgotten. It was eventualy framed for an annual exhibition, organised by the Lincolnshire Artists’ Society, when their exhibition theme was “Black and White” and the origial drawing was sold quite quickly.   

 

 Winter Sun, Lincon Cathedral.

Lincoln Cathedral, Winter

This original pastel painting is an a Private Collection, but small giclee prints are still available (for £35).

This is one of many scenes by Peter of the interior of Lincoln Cathedral.

The winter sun on the pillars in the south aisle inspired Peter to produce this painting in pastels, to bring out the brilliant colours of the winter sun shinning through the stained glass windows. Although Peter normally paints in oils, he intends to do more pastel work in the future. 

Pastels are  almost the opposite to working in oils, as oils become extremely stable, after their drying out priod of nearly a year, but pastels always remain extremely fragile and must be carefully protected to stop them from smudging. Pastels also stop Peter from “fussing and tidying-up”, which he tends to do with his oil paintings. That brings an extra spontaneous and free look to Peter’s pastel paintings.  

 Farmers’ Market, Castle Square, Lincoln.    

Farmer's Market, Lincoln

The Stonebow, Lincoln

The original painting is in a Private Collection, but small giclee prints are still available (for £35).

The medieval Stone-bow sits astride the busy Lincoln High Street, at the start of the long climb up to to Castle Square and Lincoln Cathedral. For those who are interested, the Stonebow has a long and interesting history to explore. It is situated on the site of the southern gateway to the Roman town of Lindum Colonia (now the City of Lincoln) and a gateway has stood here for over 1800 years. The chamber over the archways has been used by the City Council since the 13th century, although the present building was not completed until 1520.

 

The Wig & Mitre, from Drury Lane, Lincoln.  

The Wig & Mitre, Drury Lane, Lincoln

The original painting is still available, as well as small giclee prints (for £35).

This is another of the small series of oil paintings in the general area of Drury Lane and Castle Square. It was Peter’s fascination with  collection of different roof shapes that attracted him to paint this scene, at the northern end of Drury Lane. The top of the cathedral towers, in the background, added the finishing touch to the vaiety of roofs.

The Wig & Mitre is well established, but the present location is relatvely new, as it recently moved up the hill by a short distance. It is probably better known from the other side of the building, facing on to Steep Hill, which runs parallel with Drury Lane.

The shadow on the white builing, on the left of the painting, is from another interesting building in this part of the city, which may be included in the next series of small paintings of this area.

 

The Sam Sorer Gallery, Drury Lane, Lincoln. 

Sam Scorer Gallery, Lincoln

The original painting is in a Private Collection, but small giclee prints are available (for £35).

This is another in the series of

of  Peter’s small oil paintings in the Drury Lane area of Lincoln.

The modern looking gallery, designed by retired architect Sam Scorer, raised a few eyebrows when it was built - just below the famous Lincoln Castle. However, it was a vast improvement on the derelict building that it replaced. 

The Sam Scorer Gallery has brought new life to this part of the cultural quarter of Lincoln and it is extremely popular with artists and members of the public.
