Peter Corbett’s En Plein Air Landscapes

There is a stained glass quality to Peter Corbett’s au plein air paintings. Corbett’s brushstrokes are applied quickly, carefully and evenly, like the cells of a honeycomb, but loaded with different colours. Each brushstroke remains distinct from its neighbour; each is applied spontaneously, but with the exactitude and care of experience; each is based upon technical skills acquired while studying how the impressionists painted.
