Peter watercolours represented in many public and private collections both in Ireland and abroad.  He painted with confidence and definition - yet he achieved the softness of our misty Irish Landscape through the use of tonal graduation.  Peter’s technique is unique, his colours vivid and brushwork soft - the overall effect is extremely effective.

 

Exhibiting in The Green Gallery since it's creation 29 years ago Peter has had several sell out exhibitions. His watercolours and etchings are in big demand the World over.
