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". Skratchen Dent Furniture by Peter Bowen wins Selector's Choice award 2008 A careful drawing was first produced that worked out all of the detail components and then this was inked in with a fine tip pen, taking care to draw in items which are behind other items first and then when the whole drawing is inked it is left to dry for several days.

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
