After subsequently spending some years in the music business, in the 1990\u2019s he returned to his early fascination for the exploration of authentic local colour and tone in the landscape through oil painting. He has been exhibiting since that time, enjoying extensive creative and commercial success.<\/p><p>Peter\u2019s paintings are characterised by the use of natural materials and historic artisan techniques which create a tactile yet luminous tonality. The handmade nature of his method, from making his own surfaces and paint to applying many coats of genuine gesso to his frames, adds to a sense of grounded homogeneity in his work.<\/p><p>As a firm believer in the value of direct observation, Peter\u2019s current working process includes a daily live painting practice inspired by a Mayes Creative commission to paint seventeen sunrises, celebrating the story of solar astronomer Heinrich Schwabe. The project still continues in the collection of works at The Art Buyer.<\/p><p>Peter\u2019s work has been shown frequently at The Royal Academy and for many years in solo and mixed exhibitions in numerous galleries and can be found in discerning collections internationally.<\/p>","urlTitle":"peter-beeson","url":"\/blog\/peter-beeson\/","editListUrl":"\/my-blogs","editUrl":"\/my-blogs\/edit\/peter-beeson\/","fullUrl":"https:\/\/lotussurf.co.uk\/blog\/peter-beeson\/","featured":false,"published":true,"showOnSitemap":true,"hidden":false,"visibility":null,"createdAt":1771169723,"updatedAt":1771170569,"publishedAt":1771170569,"lastReadAt":null,"division":{"id":309190,"name":"Lotus Surf Co"},"tags":[],"metaImage":{"original":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/vaug2jxkedtlhjdcowg57dptq1rjz4v8qyifw1ramr8ajhxl.jpeg","thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/vaug2jxkedtlhjdcowg57dptq1rjz4v8qyifw1ramr8ajhxl.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/vaug2jxkedtlhjdcowg57dptq1rjz4v8qyifw1ramr8ajhxl.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"","keyPhraseCampaignId":null,"series":[],"similarReads":[{"id":38761,"title":"LOTUS LIFE - Blue Journey","url":"\/blog\/lotus-life-blue-journey\/","urlTitle":"lotus-life-blue-journey","division":309190,"description":"How waves changed my life","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/3agfgeicswd3d2ekukiz2zs617loghhuaxlkclejzonyd1yl.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/3agfgeicswd3d2ekukiz2zs617loghhuaxlkclejzonyd1yl.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":36372,"title":"LOTUS LIFE - The M-Bomb","url":"\/blog\/the-m-bomb\/","urlTitle":"the-m-bomb","division":309190,"description":"Surf catastrophe meets the Menopause, how hormones could be ruining your ride and how (and why!) to get help with HRT.","published":true,"metaImage":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/lcngrkzgh0cufu1oun6bxjlvrglu6ouydtrbshhg9kytqudy.jpeg.jpg?w=1140&h=855","banner":"https:\/\/images.podos.io\/lcngrkzgh0cufu1oun6bxjlvrglu6ouydtrbshhg9kytqudy.jpeg.jpg?w=1920&h=1440"},"hidden":0},{"id":41241,"title":"LOTUS LIFE - No Fear","url":"\/blog\/lotus-life-no-fear\/","urlTitle":"lotus-life-no-fear","division":309190,"description":"Anxiety; it\u2019s kind of a buzz word nowadays, like being \u2018triggered\u2019.
