Peter Lamb - Twickenham Artist

Peter Lamb is a Twickenham-based painter working mostly in oils and acrylics. He is primarily a painter of landscapes, but he often works on other subjects  as well; still life, portraits, animals, flights of fancy.

​

Although largely self-taught, Peter has also developed his practice through a range of courses and workshops, including at the Art Academy London.

​

He is a keen walker, with a close affinity for the English countryside, particularly the Wessex Downs and the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. When he embarks on a landscape painting, he begins by laying out the identifiable topography of a chosen scene, then allows his imagination and personal responses to take over. He is fascinated by the marks on the land left by ancient people. The standing stones, tumuli, earthworks and ruins of deep history often feature in his work.

Music is another influence, especially the classical works of Vaughan Williams and Elgar, and Celtic folk represented by such bands as Clannad and Capercaillie.
