Charles L. Peterson - Fine Watercolor Paintings and Original Artwork

New: Painting of the Month

clpetersonstudio.com — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 17:57:53 +0000

We have added a new section to our main website: Painting of the Month. This section will feature one piece of artwork each month (or roughly every month). The purpose of the monthly painting is to provide visitors a quick glimpse into Charles Peterson’s ongoing collection. Because the For Sale section is continuously updated with new painting, and the inventory or status of the artwork is constantly changing, the featured painting will give visitors a chance to quickly view recent (and available) artwork.

Publications & Flyers: Now Online

clpetersonstudio.com — Fri, 01 Oct 2010 00:59:19 +0000

A new section for printed media has been added to Charles Peterson’s website. The section has a collection of flyers and other small publications. All of the content was produced by White Door Publishing Company. We anticipate visitors will find some of the new content interesting and informative. For instance, most of the flyers that were produced as part of ‘The Memories Collection’ are listed, and include short blurbs about the print, sizing, and even original retail prices. The flyers are divided by artwork series:

The Memories Collection
A Week In Door County
School Days

There are a few other flyers listed that don’t fit in any of the previous categories. Please note that most, but not all, of Charles Peterson’s prints had flyers produced. A “flyer” column has also been added to our list of reproductions.

Moonset and Sunrise, for Mythology Show

clpetersonstudio.com — Sat, 22 May 2010 23:55:12 +0000

Moonset and Sunrise is a watercolor painting that C. L. Peterson has done for the “Norse Mythology, the Muse” event at the Peninsula School or Art in Door County on October 1-November 6, 2010.

Details:

Norse Mythology, the Muse October 1- November 6, 2010

Opening reception: Oct 2, 5-7pm Free and open to the public

Vision Statement:

In the exhibition, “Norse Mythology, the Muse,” 2- and 3-D artists are invited to draw inspiration from ancient Norse myths. Inherently imaginative in their explanation of natural events, myths encourage the storyteller/artist to literally put their unique mark on a piece, in this case through symbolic and figurative designs.

The art in the gallery will be enhanced by prominent displays of the myth narratives, adding further meaning to this exhibition.

Peninsula School of Art’s Guenzel Gallery is located at 3900 County Road F, Fish Creek. Info at 920-868-3455 or www.peninsulaartschool.com.

Enjoy these pencil drawings. It’s difficult to get the color/contrast correct with online media, but these images display detail, depth, and pencil stokes fairly well.
