Peter Lawton Art

Welcome to my world of art – it is my sincere hope that you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed painting it .  So come on in and take a peek. The subject matter varies enormously, and I would be fascinated to hear what you think.

About Peter

Following a long career in the aviation industry, I have at last been able to indulge my fantasy of becoming a painter. At school, I was keen on drawing – mainly cartoons and caricatures – which did little to help me through ‘A’ level Art!

During my time flying in the Fleet Air Arm and RAF, I took on the task of being ‘Line Book artist and compiler’, which involved a cartoonistic diary of the Squadron’s goings-on (this was great fun!).

It was during a visit to Open Studios in North West Norfolk that I discovered Martin Kinnear’s Norfolk Painting School. I enrolled for his foundation course in oil painting which was to include Old Master and Impressionist techniques.

Since then, I have attended a Level 2 City and Guilds Art and Craft course with Clare Francis Smith and an Expressive Oils course back with Martin Kinnear and have many framed pictures, affordable prints and greetings cards to offer to the art buying public.

I mainly exhibit in the annual Open Studio events where the sales and feedback have helped me enormously to develop further, so my thanks to those who bought and advised.  More recently, I have been fortunate to be able to exhibit at home in East Rudham.

I paint mostly scenic and figurative subjects in an impressionistic manner, which I hope you will enjoy browsing.
