Peter Walker

Phillip Island

Peter Walker’s Announcement of the Yacht Race is a vivid, expressionist composition filled with character, movement, and intrigue. The scene is set by the sea under a moody sky, where a group of figures some holding model yachts, others deep in thought or conversation gather in anticipation of an event. Each figure feels part of a larger story, yet distinct in mood and gesture. The bright, contrasting colours of blues, purples, and ochres bring an emotional energy to the scene, while Walker’s gestural brushwork and imaginative stylisation give the piece a dreamlike quality.

Though rooted in figuration, the painting moves beyond realism into the realm of imagination and symbolism. The central figure, dressed in yellow and holding a blue yacht, draws the viewer’s eye, his calm gaze countered by the surrounding flurry of activity. The presence of a dinosaur in the background adds a surreal touch perhaps a reminder of nature’s quiet power in contrast to human performance and ceremony. Announcement of the Yacht Race captures Peter Walker’s lyrical, expressive approach to storytelling through gesture, colour, and emotion.

The canvas is an original piece and comes with d rings and wire ready to hang. The piece is UNFRAMED. Sides are painted in a crisp white to set off the artwork. The work is created in oil paint. All work has been sealed and varnished for protection

nfluenced by my local beach and parkland with reference to the head gear of an English horse.
A picnic in the park with everyone bringing food is a common gettogether.

I find myself drawn into a quiet, slightly uncanny moment in The Horseman’s Picnic, as though I’ve stumbled upon a memory that doesn’t fully belong to me. The figures feel both present and distant—softly outlined, almost dissolving into the landscape—while I stand there holding the scene together in my mind. The women, with their bowls of bright fruit, seem absorbed in a gentle ritual, and I can almost feel the cool grass underfoot and the dampness in the air. There’s a hush here, a stillness that makes even the smallest gestures—passing fruit, turning a head—feel significant, as if time has slowed just enough for me to notice everything.

What unsettles me most, though, is the horse in the foreground, its eye large and watchful, meeting mine with a kind of quiet intensity. I feel observed, almost implicated, as though I’ve interrupted something I don’t quite understand. In the distance, the shadowy figure of the horseman adds a faint tension, contrasting with the softness of the picnic. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, and I sense the artist’s hand guiding my attention rather than dictating it. As I take it all in, I feel both comforted by the pastoral calm and slightly uneasy, caught between innocence and something harder to name.

The work is an original piece and comes with D-rings and wire ready to hang. The canvas is unframed. The sides are painted in black to set off the artwork. The work has been sealed for protection.

In Woman with Cat, I, Peter Walker, present a reclining figure who feels both present and suspended within an intense, dreamlike space. She stretches across the bed, her form merging into the softness beneath her while the vivid red background surrounds and almost consumes the scene. I position her hands gently on her torso to suggest a quiet, inward moment—less about action and more about reflection, as if she is drifting between awareness and something more subconscious.

Beside her, I place the cat as a counterbalance—alert, grounded, and fully aware. Its steady gaze contrasts with her stillness, creating a quiet tension between presence and introspection. Through this relationship, I explore the emotional space between the human figure and the observing companion, allowing the scene to rest in a moment of intimacy where vulnerability and quiet watchfulness coexist.

The woman appears quiet and inward, caught in a moment that feels both delicate and introspective. Her posture is soft and slightly curved, with one hand gently supporting her face while the other rests across her body, suggesting a sense of stillness or contemplation.

The butterfly hovers right at her cheek, almost touching her lips, as if drawn to her calm energy. She doesn’t react with surprise or movement—instead, she seems to accept its presence, as though this encounter is natural or even familiar. Her expression is subdued, perhaps thoughtful or slightly melancholic, with her gaze lowered rather than fixed on the butterfly itself.

There’s a sense of intimacy between the two: the butterfly, often symbolic of transformation or fragility, contrasts with her grounded, human form. The moment feels suspended—like a quiet pause where nothing else exists but this gentle interaction.
