Featured Painting

"In the Wild" (2)

News and Updates

This summer, I am pushing myself in new directions, painting the subjects that I find most difficult and experimenting with different techniques. It is a good time to rethink, reevaluate and recreate. The complicated buoy painting shown below just came off the easel and is in the drying stage.

My solo show called "Waterworks" at the Elizabeth Moss Gallery in Falmouth, Maine, is now open, featuring two dozen new paintings about water--foaming surf, quiet lily ponds, rushing rivers, thundering waterfalls, etc. In the Wild (2), shown at the head of this page, was the first to sell from the new collection. For a glimpse of the other paintings, see my New Work page or go to the gallery website: www.elizabethmossgalleries.com.

My new work was recently featured on a blog by Barbara Stroud of North Carolina. Here is the link: https://artfoodhome.com/2020/06/08/featured-artist-lea-peterson/

Three of my paintings have been juried into a bicentennial show, called "The Pine Tree State at 200: The Art of the Maine Woods," at the Thomas Moser Gallery in Freeport.

In addition to representation by the Elizabeth Moss Gallery, my work is shown at the N. W. Barrett Gallery in Portsmouth, NH, and at the Centre St. Arts Gallery in Bath, ME. I helped to found the latter gallery with 8 other partners almost 10 years ago. More information on each of these venues and their schedules can be found on their individual web sites:

For the preliminary list of shows in 2020, including my ongoing exhibit at the Maine State Senate offices in Augusta, see the Exhibits page.

I would love to get your feedback on my art and my web site. Just send an email to llpmaine@hughes.net.  Thanks, and I hope to see you at one of my galleries or shows in 2019.
