Bob Peters
When equine artist Bob Peters steps
outside his studio in Durango, Colorado, he has only to look north toward
the San Juan mountains to see soe of the most dramatic mountain peaks in
the world. Many, such as Sunlight Peak, rise over 14 thousand
feet. To the south of Durango, the high desert country of the
Colorado plateau and its austere landscapes begins.
While growing up in Arizona, Bob Peters
spent a lot of time around horses. Later, as he began to draw, his
appreciation of the horse began to develop into an understanding of the
anatomy and mind of these magnificent animals.
His realistic approach to art was often
at odds with his college instructors, and what they considered
"Important Works of Art". Peters did, however, gain enough
knowledge about the technical aspects of painting to allow him to pursue
other avenues to improve his skills.
After painting with acrylics for over ten
years, Peters was encouraged by an artist friend to try oils. He
soon discovered that oils were a medium better suited for what he wanted
to accomplish in his paintings.
Since Peters breeds and shows horses
competitively, he has the luxury of stepping outside his studio to study
at first hand the anatomy of his live models.
