Light House by Peter Bowen

On a recent trip to Weymouth and Chesil Beach we stopped at Portland Bill and the lighthouse there is quite stunning. It was a lovely day with blue sky and fluffy white clouds. After some initial sketches this idea emerged and reveals my interpretation of the lighthouse at Portland. The title is Light House and is the contrast between the Light on the tower and the House where people live. The washing line is a typical element of my paintings and adds interest and a human touch to the painting.

About the Artist

Peter Bowen R.G.D., BA, an accomplished graphic designer and professional watercolour artist.

His unique style of painting architectural subjects with humorous situations has earned him an international reputation during the last 25 years with much of his work in private collections in Canada, the United States and Great Britain.

Ideas for pictures often start as a collection of ideas of things that I have seen and I create a composition in my mind that I think would work. "Often I start sketching directly on to watercolour paper with a fine pen, letting the lines do the work and form the framework of the picture". Colour elements follow and start to bring life to the work. Shading and tonal colour adds dimension to the framework of shapes.
