Small Giclee Print – Approx Size 210 mm x 148.5 mm

This original pastel painting is an a Private Collection, but giclee prints are still available.

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.
