Country Wash


Driving through the Somerset countryside one day, this scene was spotted, a collection of farm buildings quite grey and drab in colour and the white clean wash hanging out to dry. Washing lines full of clothes drying in the wind feature strongly in many of the artist’s works and provide an almost endless source of imaginative works.

The watercolour painting "Skratchen Dent Furniture" by Peter Bowen is awarded Selectors Choice at the Clifton Arts Club 100th Open Exhibition. From over 540 entries the selection committee chose to hang 320 paintings. "It's very encouraging to see that fine art illustration is accepted and recognised as art in an exhibition like this" said Stan Drew a collector of fine art, "this lovely watercolour painting by Peter Bowen is an example of what talented artist's in the Bristol area are capable of producing and it's good see that the Clifton Arts Club continues to support the artists in this community".

Image
On a recent trip to Weymouth and Chesil Beach we stopped at Potland 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. This is a new watercolour painting by Peter Bowen and has been very popular at shows. The original painting has been sold but there is a limited edition of 50 prints available at http://www.peterbowen.net/ at £65 each. Light House - by Peter Bowen Watercolour 2008
