PETER´S
PAINTINGS 1 |
 The warrior was
meant as an illustration to one of several stories
which I wrote back in the early seventies
 Home sweet home was something I did while
attending art school in the mid seventies. What I used here were my
precious, British made Windsor & Newton water colours with a few
tints added using the German equivalent Schminke
 Deep in the forest
was painted
using water colours and tempera blocks back in 1972. It was as with The lord of mushrooms and The Dance of the witches an
illustration meant for a saga which I was writing at the time. I
never completed the story but, nonetheless, the picture hangs now
and then on
our livingroom wall as part of my private collection

 Towers was the painting I had initially intended as the front cover for the first In The Labyrinth album The garden of mysteries. However, somewhere in the process it was swapped for another one of my paintings. And so by the initiative of designer Anna Spång it ended up in a rather obscure place hidden in the plastic tray underneath the disc  The magician is
an illustration I put together in 2004 on assignment by Dario Antonetti
for Volume 3 in
Oggetti- volanti´s Vegetable
man series, which in
fact is a homage to the psychedelic genius
of Syd Barrett. This is the central part of the painting where the
sorcerer offers you to pay attention to his conjuring
tricks

  Dance of the witches 1 is the
oldest version made in 1972 when I was still confined to using simple
tempera blocks of the kind kids use at school. Like some of the other
"gray"
paintings I made during that period, this one was meant as an
illustration for an unfinished saga called 'Dödens rike' (i e The
realm of the dead')

 The witch in the hollow
is yet another one of those pain tings I made in those days when I was
deeply affected by Nordic illustrators such as John Bauer, Tove
Jansson and
Elsa Beskow
 The lord of mushrooms was also initially part of the fairy tale which I did not complete. The character itself is a kind of a gnome perching out in the wilderness, luring people to walk deeper into the woods until they inevitably lose their way 
 Winter landscape was
one in a
series of snowy motives
which I painted for an art exhibition in the early 80s  Another
version of Winter landscape
but in a smaller format  Fisherman on ice was a recurring theme with me  Here is the same
fisherman perched
on the
same rock but in the midst of summer |
