L.A.D. No More

Peter resting in the studio

Peter's blog, Landscape a Day, has come to an end. He painted 111 studies in 112 days and completed a number of other larger paintings as well during these last few months. It was a great experience and now he's very happy that it is over. He's moved on to the next stage of creating new paintings for his show at the Travis Gallery this fall and returning to looking and photographing and planning new work.

We have finally launched the prints section on Peter's site, peterfiore.com. There are six prints available, several of which are from award winning paintings. They are quite large and very beautiful. They would make an ideal gift for yourself or someone else!

This photo of Peter in his studio was taken by his friend, Phil Valcarcel.

Italian Week on Peter's Landscape a Day blog ended on Saturday. Thank you to all who have been looking and enjoying. Tomorrow, Tuesday May 18th, is his 100th study posted. Check it out!

More Italian Week

Hazy morning, Tuscany

Peter is showing 7 more studies from Italy this week on his Landscape a Day blog and I'm going to show a few more of my photos from our past trips. I never get tired of looking at photos of beautiful Italy!

Ferry Ride Home

Giant fuzzy gum-drop?

On the ferry ride home, a massive man sat outside the window where we were sitting. I couldn't resist taking his photo. He was.... monumental!

Nantucket Week on Peter's Landscape a Day Blog is over. Thanks to everyone for making it a success. If you're interested in seeing more of his work of Nantucket and other coastal areas, visit his website peterfiore.com. Cavalier Galleries in Nantucket and Greenwich, CT and Travis Gallery in New Hope, PA both have a collection of Peter's coastal paintings.

This week on L.A.D. Peter is going to be featuring a collection of barns he has been watching. Enjoy!

Ireland Week?

Peter, along with his friends Terry and Beth contemplate the end of Paris Week

This is a rare siting of Peter at a bar and with a beer instead of a Diet Pepsi no less. He wants to do a week of Ireland studies for Landscape a Day, but we have to go there first! Ireland here we come? Maybe, but I think Nantucket week is up next.

Paris Week

The Mona Lisa is a rock star at The Louvre

Paris Week has begun with great success on Peter's blog, Landscape a Day. While he's sharing his studies, I'm going to post a few of our Paris photos.

To find the Mona Lisa, we just followed the crowds past countless paintings and sculpture. It was great to see that people were so excited about a painting. I just hoped they took notice of some of the other works along the way. Peter took this photo of the Mona Lisa. It feels like she's giving a press conference! If only she could. We enjoyed a lot of the quieter areas of the museum as well.

Stack of Studies

L.A.D. studies all packed up and ready to go to the post office

I shipped out a bunch of Landscape a Day studies today. They are going to homes all over the US; California, Indiana, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, North Carolina, Virginia and Missouri. I can't wait for people to see the study (or studies) they bought and see how amazing they are in person. If you've bought a study and framed it, send me a photo!

Peter in the Landscape

Peter photographing

We were up early and out photographing by 9, which by Peter's standards is quite late. We both felt the need to sleep in a little after celebrating our good friend's 40th birthday. The sky was overcast and it was pretty cold out. We had a nice walk and took a bunch of photos. 

Peter on the path

This is a spot in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area that Peter has enjoyed painting studies of lately. He wanted to revisit some of those motifs at a different time of day and a different time of year.

Peter with antlers

I took more photos of corn stalks and other bits of nature, but I mostly had fun photographing Peter today. I have a real fascination for adding antennae or antlers to people and I couldn't resist this last one of Peter in front of this lovely sycamore. Sorry Peter!

Peter took this one of me

Peter at work on today's study

I wanted to show that Peter is doing more than just socializing in the studio! Here he is working on a Landscape a Day study from his photos of a walk we took last Sunday with our friends Mary and Rob and our dogs in the Delaware National Water Gap Recreation Area.

Last Day Rome

The rooftops of Rome

This photo is from the last evening of our trip. Rome. What a beautiful city. It was sad to leave but always good to get home.

Thanks so much to everybody for making Italian Week on Peter's Landscape a Day blog such a success. If you missed out, he is planning another Italian Week soon.

Working on L.A.D.

Peter's Palette

We've been working on Peter's new blog, Landscape a Day. All of the details are coming together and people are really excited about it. The response already has been overwhelming. Thank you to everyone who has emailed us with well wishes and excitement at purchasing their first study. Buyer beware, once you start you may not be able to stop!

Landscape a Day launches this coming Monday,

February 9th 2009 at 1:00 am (EST).
