Peter Davis
Sogg
Sogg
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.
Of all the painting mediums, Peter finds that watercolour is the best paint to suggest
the unpredictable, damp weather often found in Scotland. There are many wet and
windy days in Shetland when the landscape is soaked by the Atlantic and North
Sea lows blowing in. ‘Sogg’ describes this well, and the word itself is a local weather word which describes drizzling or misty rain.
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.
