Text graphic reading 'PETER GRAHN' with orange, purple, and maroon color scheme.

Peter paints with acrylics on canvas, using a broad brush and bold, bright colors to evoke emotion. He gives his abstract expressionist paintings surprising life and motion. He works with a Southwest touch, having been much influenced by visiting galleries in Santa Fe and Taos, NM. His subjects and techniques have become very popular with his many fans. Many of his paintings depict horses in motion, although he also does many other subjects, including abstracts, sailboats, bears, fish, and landscapes, among others. His energy in his painting reflects his love of this medium.

    “The way Peter is able to evoke emotion with the eyes of his animal subjects is extremely unique. His ability to communicate deep and genuine feelings to his lookers on is heartfelt and amazing. His love of animals is the catalyst for him, his pure talent is the gift”

    Sailing

    “We have known Pete for nearly 40 years and admired his paintings, especially the sailboats. We enjoyed sailing, as did Pete. His depiction of sailing craft in extraordinarily bright and vivid color always attracted us to his work. The sailboats were in full sail, and you could feel the action of waves against the hull and the pull of the wind in her sails.”
