Peter Davis
Fifteenth Hour
Fifteenth Hour
Original watercolour, body colour (gouache) and chalk on board, framed floated within a cobalt blue painted solid tulip box frame. The artwork is behind low reflect 70% UV filter glass and measures 38.5 x 30 cm.
This painting is based on a winter sunset in Shetland - one of Peter's favourite times of day. In December and January the sun sets around three o’clock in the afternoon - the fifteenth hour of the day. It may only have been up for around five to six hours.
The Artist
The Artist
Peter Davis is an award-winning Scottish artist and member of the Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour (RSW). After spending much of his time teaching in Orkney and Shetland, he is now a full time artist working from his coastal Shetland studio.
Painting Northern landscapes for over 40 years, it is Peter’s experimental handling of watercolour which is pivotal to these ethereal conjurings of the Shetland landscape. Instead of traditional brushwork you will see expansive washes of colour, areas of pooling and feather-like, bleeding marks. Peter leans into the natural fluidity of watercolour and its obedience to gravity - expertly directing the water but also allowing it to flow unpredictably.
