Peter Kirkland

Although Peter enjoys modern abstract art produced by other artists, his own work is mainly traditional in style. He started his working life in an engineering drawing office, and in mid-career changed to architectural design.

Always interested in painting as well as drawing, he joined a number of courses at Radstock College, culminating in an A Level award in 1992.

Since retiring from business, he has developed his work considerably in various media. He now paints mainly in acrylics, and his careful observation of detail results in finely produced paintings of landscape, buildings and still life.

In 1998 he inaugurated the Whisty Art Group in Radstock, and has been a member of the OBA since its inception.

Having, for the moment at least, completed his set of acrylic paintings of Radstock, he has returned to still life painting. Three of these are illustrated here as examples and are available for sale.

High quality mounted giclee prints of his Radstock works are still available, now at £20 each plus postage and packing. Also, the Radstock Museum carries a stock of postcards.
