Peter Culos - Art and Design
Welcome to A Brush with History!
A lot of my work is inspired by history. I inherited my love of
history from my mother who always seemed to plan family
vacations around some historic site. Somehow those early
encounters with the physical reminders of earlier times
captured my imagination and continue to even now.
The history books and stories I read as a kid often contained
thrilling illustrations done by such masters as Howard Pyle, Dean
Cornwell, N.C. Wyeth, Norman Rockwell and Tom Lovell. The Civil
War sketches of Winslow Homer and Alfred Waud captured
action which the cameras of the day couldn’t. All of them
sparked an interest in art that has never left me.
I've lived within a few miles of the shore all my life, so the muse
also strikes at the beach. Watching kids enjoy themselves in
and around the water reminds me of how I grew up. I think
you'll see that in my work.
Enjoy.
