Dragonswarm
How Peter began painting rural scenes is
simple, even if it sounds daft.
By : Deborah Susan Jones : Editor
Peter has painted fantasy Dragons galore:
fire breathing dragons, dragon slayers, magic dragons,
water dragons, double dragons, dragon legends, dragon
pictures of every kind - dragon lairs and. well, you
name it, pictures for dragon tales of probably every
kind.
Popular, very successful, dragon (or
dragon-like beasties) printings: many used on paperbacks
with the odd magazine thrown in and of course computer
games covers, boardgames, trading cards and even a
Japanese telephone carda rough list from memory includes
but is not limited to >
Dawn on the Dragons (twice!) - paperback
The warlock of Firetop Mountain (three times! -
paperback
Dungeon Quest (role-play game)

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.
