With his studio overlooking beautiful Lake Michigan, much of Charles
Peterson's art reflects his love for sailing and the sea. Paintings of
the great sailing ships and wonderful seascapes have long provided Peterson
with both financial and professional success. While most of his paintings
are sold directly out of his own studio, Peterson's work has also been
featured into the most prestigious galleries in the country and in juried
shows of international significance.
But if Peterson's marine paintings have brought professional prestige
and recognition, it is his unique "memories" paintings that
have brought national popularity. Painted "Memories Collection" of
limited edition prints combine the elements of an old forgotten site
with the very subtle reflection of the special times that are still real
for those who remember. New releases are awaited anxiously by collectors
all across the United States and Canada. The Memories Collection strikes
a chord in all of us who have fond memories of simpler times.
Regardless of subject, Peterson collectors have come to expect a consistent
quality that comes only from a lifetime of study and work. Eight years
of advanced art training, a successful twenty year career as a college
professor of art, and an additional twenty years of painting full time
have all contributed to the extraordinary watercolor compositions of
a true master.
