Landing of the Ark and the Dove, oil, 36 by 72 inches In this large painting from 1975, Peter immersed himself in research about the ships and landing of settlers from Cowes, England, on St. Clements Island, Maryland, in 1634. The composition came to him in a dream, in which he imagined himself there, with the sounds of the waves and the voices and the thump of the longboat against the hull of the Ark. The city of Cowes is including this painting in an upcoming museum exhibition commemorating the voyage.
Morning in Baltimore Harbor, 1830s, oil, 24 x 44 inches This carefully researched painting imagines a Baltimore morning after a rainstorm in the 1830s, looking from the lumber yards at the base of Federal Hill north across Baltimore Harbor.
