Peter Smith Sculptures
“My influences come from entertaining authors rather than artists and my art comes from childhood and imagination rather than a need to paint reality. Nostalgic escapism I prefer to call it but you may prefer something else, either way I know one thing, It’s all painted with a passion and a little bit of that childhood sparkle that so easily disappears when we forget how to be a child.” – Peter Smith

Warhorse by Bob Barker

War Horse by Bob Barker
“When I paint, it’s almost – at least through my eyes – as if this northern light pours from my brush onto the canvas. Light in the north transforms everything it touches…from the cobbled streets to the terraced houses, mills and back alleyways…they have been bathed in this light for decades.” - Bob Barker
