Peter Williams

Peter Williams lives in the 100 year old St. Mary's Catholic Church in the historical village Mogo just south of Batemans Bay.

As a landscape painter he enjoys the privilege of living amongst the
Spotted Gum forests on the South Coast.
Every day he awakes to an atmosphere filled with strong light, shapes and sounds. These natural elements never cease to enthuse Peter and these atmospheres are captured in all his paintings.

Peter strives to place the viewer within the intimacy of the landscape scene as painted from his studio.

His use of colour and lots of it, allows him to paint with a bold scale and expression capturing a `slice' of the landscape rather than large sweeping vistas.
The influence of the French Impressionist painters together with Australian painters such as Fred Williams, Lloyd Reese, William Robertson
and Brett Whitely have inspired Peter's style of painting.
Peter's attitude to colour is that if it is there in your collection of paints,
try and find some way of using it, celebrate its power and joy.
"With a minimum of blending I apply pure colour making marks that
combine when viewed at a distance into visual reality".
In recent works, Peter has added variations in texture to his compositions.
