About Me

My photo
Peter Ward
I'm a retired sales manager who worked for the Italian company Pirelli, in the tyre division, for twenty four years. After National Service in the Royal Air Force I joined Morris Motors then part of the British Motor Corporation ( now defunct), and then Carnation Foods who have since been swallowed up by their greatest rival Nestle. Then came Pirelli. Retired at 57. I started painting in watercolour four years after retirement, rather late in the day, and have been plugging away ever since. Previously my main interest was in a specialist gardening area, Auriculas and Primroses - members of the extensive Primula family - and I've written three books and numerous articles, as well as lecturing in the UK, USA and Canada, but painting now takes centre stage. Among my favourite artists are Charles Reid, Judi Whitton, John Yardley, Trevor Chamberlain, Skip Lawrence, David Taylor, Robert Wade, John Palmer, Aubrey Phillips, Piet Lap, Viktoria and Slawa Prischedko, Lin Fealing, Cao Bei An, Bev Jozwiak, Gerard Hendriks, Stan Miller, and from the older era Edward Seago, Edward Wesson, Hercules Brabazon, John Blockley, John Singer Sargeant. There are many others I like.
