"Peter--Ellen and Jeff loved the Lhasa painting! We were all amazed at how lifelike Lhasa's fur and eyes were; it was almost as if she were still with us! Giving one of your paintings as a gift was a wonderful experience for me and I will watch for opportunities to do it again." - L. Ruppert

"All I can say is OUTSTANDING!!!! It is INCREDIBLE!! Opened it last nite and we both absolutely love it. WHAT A TALENT! You really caught the essence of Louie. Thank you so much!" - H. Haake

"I love the color. It has a lot of depth. Great brushwork. Hines looks really solid. I love the way you mixed the cool shadows and the warm highlights. I'm so glad I asked you to do this painting. Better than I expected, and my expectations were pretty high to begin with. The painting was the best gift of the year. And there was some tough competition. It was quite a success." - S. Halker

"What is a painting? Some might say, 'Nothin' but image wrapped up in light.' But, what is a painting? I say, it is a moment captured. It's time on rewind. It's a mysterious force that draws me into a story staged in the past. . . a story of new and eager love. Peter has given us a brilliant and enduring door to the past with such color and depth, I can hear Earl Klugh's "Angelina" playing again and smell the fragrant pearl white freesia that besotted the occasion." - K. Barram

"For my father's 70th birthday, I wanted to give him something special--something unique that would become a treasured family heirloom for parents who already have everything. When I saw Peter's oil paintings, I knew immediately that commissioning a portrait from him would be the perfect gift to commemorate this special occasion. Peter only had a few photo references to work from but even in the early stages, as my parents' faces took form, I saw that he had captured the essence of them both. When I walked into Peter's studio to review the final piece, I was awestruck by how lifelike and realistic they looked; they could have been sitting right in the room! Portraits are unique, possessing an indefinable presence that photographs do not. Peter's knack for capturing the essence of what is before him is uncanny and brings his subjects to life on the canvas; truly, he is a gifted artist. I highly recommend him to anyone thinking of commissioning a portrait of themselves, their children, or their parents!" - Dr. L. Lo
