Once my teacher, always an inspiration. I took Stephen’s class while in school at LCAD and I must say, I painted my favorite painting of all my school years. I haven’t had the patience to paint this way again… but I always think about his technique, palette and overall attitude. What a talent. Check out his very impressing and extensive portfolio http://stephenwdouglas.com/.

Jeff and I met 10 years ago on a sunny day in Southern California. We both attended LCAD, formerly known as the Art Institute of Southern California. Those days were pretty amazing I might add. A small wooden school a mile away from the pacific ocean, in a small town filled with galleries & art festivals, we had classes outside or on the cliffs overlooking the endless water… I remember visiting Jeff’s studio, drinking wine, talking, laughing… good times back then, I miss those carefree art school years…sigh.
Anywho, Jeff Peters is talented. Very. Beautiful oil paintings. Very delicate and fragile, his detail intricate and brushwork mastered. Jeff is completely dedicated to his work. He has kept a theme of nature throughout the years, but lately his work has picked up bolder colors and he’s ventured into depicting animals in rather unpredictable situations. I’m a fan.
Jeff Peters will be showing at Peter Blake Gallery in Laguna Beach, CA., February 5th, from 6-9pm. More info here.
