When Peter made the
decision to become "self-published" in 1999 it did not,
and has not, seen the end of dragon paintings . . . . .
. .
He included dragons in
his book "Paintings of Ludlow" which, though about a
rural town in the County of Shropshire in rural England,
is steeped in the Arthurian legend and the very roots of
that legend are in the prophesy concerning "the Red
Dragon of Wales and the White Dragon of England" and
that too has lead to some newer works being created in
the studio right now.
To our great
satisfaction these dragon art pictures remain as popular
as ever.
