Sunshine Coast based artist Peter Hudson presents a body of en-plein air paintings in his new exhibition at Mitchell Fine Art in Fortitude Valley from July 23.
Peter Hudson is a landscape and portrait painter, and accomplished musician who draws largely on contemporary Australian history for inspiration in his practice. Regular painting trips and sketching form an integral part of his art-making process in capturing the spirit or essence of the landscape.
‘‘Everything is, in the right place at the right time. This is a gift for the landscape artist, as all the usual problems and decisions concerning design, tone, colour, what to include, what to leave out etc. have been taken care of.’ says Hudson.
The exhibition showcases the stunning landscapes of Noosa National Park and its surrounds. Peter is particularly influenced by a keen interest in Aboriginal Australia post colonisation as such his paintings and drawings have a deep connection to country and the natural world.
