English artist Peter Goodhall has always had a passion for painting and particularly for marine subjects. Painting in both traditional and contemporary styles creating a career painting a lot of water. From his art college days in the 1970s, then influenced by the photo-realist movement he began to develop ways of meticulously painting water and also incorporating nudes into water.

Using oil paint on large striking canvases and with infinite observation to create a high degree of realism. This has all evolved into what and how he paints today.

Goodhall´s first solo exhibition was in 1980 and since then he has regularly exhibited in the UK and internationally with both solo shows and with prestigious Societies. He holds a collection of international awards, many AAA including the AAA ´Masterpiece Award’. He is widely published as both a marine and equestrian artist with paintings in private and public collections around the world including the Royal Navy and Royal Air Force.
