* PETER SMITH (SCOTTISH b. 1949), CHELTENHAM oil on board, signedframed and under glassimage size 24cm x 34cm, overall size 38cm x 48cm Note: Peter Smith was born in Lanarkshire in 1949.

He attended the Carlisle and then the Glasgow School of Art and acknowledges that he admires a broad spectrum of artists, taking his inspiration from such diverse masters as Degas and Munnings. Peter Smith lives near Ayr, where the open landscape creates a perfect atmosphere in which to find his inspiration. Peter Smith's original works and limited edition publications are much sought after and his artwork graces art collections worldwide.
