Cosslett Peter
Cosslett is a realist painter whose work contains no gimmicks but takes many
hours to complete. Peter
spent his early adult years in the merchant marines and became fascinated by the
power and drama of the sea. After
the war he worked as a salesman but found difficulty in coping after his left
leg was amputated through cancer. As
a challenge he took up painting, he is entirely self-taught and puts his success
down to sheer persistence. After
an unsuccessful venture running an art shop Peter left his native city of
Cardiff and moved to Devon. He now
spends all his time painting to meet the constant demand for his work. There
have been several fine art prints of Cosslett seascapes and although coastal
scenes are his favourite subject he has completed many landscapes and other
subjects. |
