Artist of the Week - Peter Williams

This week we have Peter Williams as our Artist of the week. Peter's stunning painting 'High And Mighty' (shown on the right) has been shortlisted for the DSWF Wildlife Artist Of The Year 2010. The competition is open to art professionals and amateurs worldwide, there are literally thousands of entries which are judged by a panel.
The shortlisted entries will be exhibited at the Mall Galleries, London 24th-29th May where all the art will be for sale.
This is an extremely high profile art exhibition and "anyone who is anyone" in wildlife conservation circles will be at the preview evening, where 50% of sales go to the DSWF to help endangered species around the world.

Peter says: " I use many different media including pastel, coloured or graphite pencil and gouache but I am particularly well known for watercolour work. Blending diffused colour with confident composition and intricate detail, I am able to achieve a unique vibrancy unequalled by many other watercolourists.

Having always had immense interest in the great outdoors, animals, wildlife and particularly horses, I have most recently become best known for my haunting, ephemeral Native American portraits.
I don’t try to be historically accurate, but attempt to portray palpable and arresting emotions, suspending reality to present the viewer with the wild, unchecked passions and stoic serenity of Native America.
