Original watercolour 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.

In Shetland Norn the word ‘kol’ can refer to a breath of air or a fresh breeze. The
word was often in use on the Westside of Shetland mainland, where Peter now lives and works. It is inspired by his many daily walks around the coastline. His typical ‘walk around the block’ takes about 40 minutes and features moorland, cliffs, small lochs, and a rocky beach.

 

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.
