KEN PEACOCK - I have roamed this beautiful world now for many years with sketch book, camera, and pen. In my studio as my paintings develop and with my sketch-books and photographs by my drawing board to refer to, the rhythms within the compositions become stronger and my field work becomes a reality. I keep going till I get it right but then there are probably still five things to do and a painting can be on my easel for over a year.
Truly:
“ To see a world in a grain of sand
And a Heaven in a wild flower;
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity for an hour.”, William Blake,
brings out the music in one.
Ken is one of our original exhibitors and has returned this year after a year off due to ill health. Despite his illness, he helped us with some of the hanging of the last show. If you get a chance, when you visit the show take a look at Ken's lovely sketch books of his drawings in the field, Ken is always hiking around everywhere with his field books and backpack in tow.
