Representing shade in a painting can be tricky, as your mind tells you that any object in shade is a single, darker variation of the sunlit side’s color. There are actual very subtle changes in intensity and color that, even if you don’t see it, it’s there, so you might as well…
Commissions are collaborations. The buyers for this piece wanted a piece based on a view from their summer home on Martha's Vineyard, and desired a palette that was bright and vibrant. The piece was slated for a wall in their NYC home, with a functional purpose of covering a…
This completed commission was couriered to the buyer this morning, and happily found it's way onto the perfect wall in this beautifully sunlit home on Cape Cod. "Soundside Creek" 48 x 60 o/c
New piece. I can't recall where I came across this, somewhere in Vermont, but I loved the beaked roof and the sense of seclusion it had as it sat far out in meadow, with no other structures nearby. "Meadow Slope" 30 x 40 o/c
Many thanks to @gallery_wald for trekking from Seoul to Singapore for the @affordableartfairsg, and for the red dots and happy buyers! . #artfair #singapore #artexhibits #art #artist #artwork #contemporaryart #seoulartgalleries
FRAMED PRINTS ( peterbatchelder.com/framed-prints/ ) After several requests from print buyers to have the option to buy prints that come framed, we've added the first two prints that deliver ready to hang. We'll be building this collection over time, and welcome suggestions for images in…
If, by chance, you're in Singapore next couple of days, don't miss the Affordable Art Fair Singapore @affordableartfairsg where @gallery-wald (S. Korea) is exhibiting at Stand 2c-02. Sincere thanks to @artist_rosaoh and Gallery Wald for representing my work so beautifully and…
Completed commissioned piece, out on approval, is based on a salt creek near us down on the Cape. These boggy creeks are on both the Cape's Bay side and Sound side. This particular one is on the Sound Site where in reality it meets a small inlet, home to a yacht club, but in this…
It's always fun and flattering to see how collectors display the pieces they've picked up over time. One such collector sent this photo of their collection of 24 x 24s in their home in New Jersey, which presents the work as beautifully as my galleries display pieces. .…
There’s a meadow down the street that is part of an old farm with rolling fields and meadows that has inspired quite a few paintings over the years. I was driving by it a while back in late afternoon, and caught a glimpse of the dramatic shadows created by the sun’s spotlight on…
Complete commissioned piece, currently out for approval with buyer. The piece is based on the view from their summer place, looking out over the marshy meadows of Edgartwon, on the south side of the island, to the sea beyond. "View to South Beach" 42 x 36 o/c . #marthasvineyard…
About a year ago, the French publisher @livredepoche contacted me with a request to "Cloudland" for the cover for the novel, "Plus grandes que le monde" by Meredith Hall, which recently came out in paperback. I have not read the book, but read that it's the story of a family…
First in a series of smaller landscapes underway of one of my favorite spots on the Cape. At the very end of West Dennis Beach, a sandy patch of scrub oak and pine pokes into Bass River and is a small, barren reference to what the landscape looked like well before the Cape was…
While it's not even winter yet, seems a little foreshadowing of Spring might be welcome... "Springtime" 36 x 36 o/c
There are many old farms on Cape Cod, from Sandwich to Provincetown, many of which date back to when the Cape was first settled. The Mid-Cape town of East Dennis is home to many, and shares the coastline of Cape Cod Bay...the side of the Cape where farming was more feasible, as…
New piece based on an old run-down farm a few miles from the studio. Despite it’s worn condition, when I first visited this place, the front door looked as freshly painted as the day the house was built. “Red Door” 24 x 36 o/c
Smaller spaces require smaller pieces, but with proper lighting, the impact of the right canvas in the right location makes a big difference...as does this pairing of wall, light and "Sunbeams" 24 x 24 via @sullivanframing_fineartgallery in Bedford, NH
Having lived in cities and suburbia, coexisting with noise, traffic and strip malls, it's hard sometimes to envision how so many live quiet, bucolic country lives, free of those distractions. This place is in Vermont, pretty much in the middle of nowhere, with a couple other…
