Bob Peters

Viewers of Bob Peters dynamic paintings of horses can almost hear the pounding hooves and the gusting wind blowing tangled manes into streams behind the horses' heads. Peters works from a studio in the spectacular country where horses run free on acres of open land. He has worked with horses all his life, breeding fine stock and showing horses competitively. This intimate knowledge of anatomy and conformation is evident in his brilliant action paintings of the American horse. Peters studied the works of 19th century masters who painted the horse, and draws from their sense of form and grandeur in his choice of settings for his contemporary portrayal of horses. Whether drinking from a mountain stream or at full gallop across an arid expanse, Peters' horses are vivid portrayals of this proud animal which is so much a part of the American heritage.
