I began my art 'interests' at the ripe age of 10. That Christmas I received my very first set of oil paints as a gift and proceeded to paint a picture that my aunt still has hanging on her wall. A country scene of woods and snow. Very easy for a beginning artist.
I took art in high school as well as the pre-requisite courses to attend college, my dream of being a teacher quickly quashed in the over flux of teachers way back in those stone age days. My major switched to History and Marketing Management (heh a lady did have to have something to fall back on) ... Continuing to paint, draw and use any and all mediums I could find, I found my favorite in oils and watercolors. I'm mostly self taught, having had only two years of 'art' studies' so when you look there is something definitely missing, I see it, you may not which may be a good thing.
I married, moved to NY, divorced and raised two children on my own, beautiful, gifted and lovely ones too :) My son is going to be a teacher, daughter is in restaurant management. I'm quite proud of both of them.
Back to my 'art'. I took interest in terragen and love the capabilities it gave me in creating a landscape without the use of paints when I permanently injured my 'holding' arm. I cannot paint for long periods of time using my left arm. Limited but not defeated. Taking up computer art satisfied my 'craving' to create landscapes, and the use of watercolor pencils and graphite satisfies my other creative endeavors. Currently I am working on a series of surreal fae art, if such a thing exists besides in my imagination. As well as some artwork in graphite attempting to work on life studies. It's been an uphill climb and I find I'm more than satisfied most of the time. "We're our own worse critics"... and so true. Much of what I do doesn't find it's way here, for I don't feel it should be shown.ÂÂ
If you take a moment, and glance through my gallery, I hope you take away a wee bit of magic, a sense of delight and have enjoyed the visit...If you'd like to see some of my artworks that are no longer here, or that I've never put here, please feel free to visit my site:http://www.freewebs.com/ppeterse/index.htmVarious artworks from pencil to watercolors are there.

Love the sky! How do you do this? And the water is superb!

Outstanding work here, Pat. Personally (IMHO) I don't care for the extra length in the sky and the bottom black area. But other then that, this is a superb Terragen. :)
fractalinda
Spectacular and breathtakingly beautiful! Outstanding work, Patt. Your presence in this gallery has been like a bright light to a dark and dreary world (not that anyone or anyone's work here is dark or dreary). You've encouraged and inspired, and- in my book, that's more significant than any "art" piece. Hey, and your images are excellent! Enjoy your vacation, and please don't stay away too long.

This is probably one of your most superior and inspiring Terragan renders. I love the way you have given the water an almost pristine and lucid quality. The symmetry in this peice is phenomenal; there is also a sense of motion in this one. ...On another note, I too wish you a wonderful vacation and (thus far) it has been a pleasure to view your thoughts in visual form. Your work is outstanding, regardless of the format/media/technique. Meanwhile, I look forward to the continuation of your drawings- as I know you want to do more of them. PS: I did not know you were a teacher! The profession is surely gratifying...I'm sure. Regards......... :)
