and probably more I can't recall!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.
