Item Special Note

Peter Nelson's heart and eye capture the light and architectural lines established in his native New England, where he spends summers painting on Monhegan Island off the coast of Maine.

Nelson began painting as a hobby in 1985 and is self taught, learning a lot about watercolor by watching his mom paint. He is a juried member of the Northern Arizona Watercolor Society and an active member of the Sedona Arts Center where he exhibits work in the annual member shows. He has received numerous awards for his paintings.
