Peter Earle

I was born on the Devon and Cornwall border, and the Tamar valley, Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor have been constants in my life. With frequent visits to the North and South coasts, Bude, Widemouth, Polperro and Looe which have all featured strongly in my paintings.Vivid memories of sandcastles, ice cream, rock pools, fishing and watching artists painting harbours, coastlines and engine houses have been truly inspirational. After years as a quarryman and stonemason I now devote my time to painting, drawing, exploring the countryside and gardening. Self taught I like to capture light and colour, or an event that tells a story. I paint for the enjoyment of creating and hope my efforts may put a smile on a few faces or stir a forgotten memory.
