Landscape painting has been Peter’s focus for the last several years. While he was recovering in hospital from a recent illness, Peter could look out his window onto the Red River set against the backdrop of Winnipeg’s skyline. To Peter, rivers, in their varied moods, represent a metaphor for the seasons of life. This is the inspiration for his latest series of work.
