A Panorama of Hobart

A pictorial journey through Hobart en plein air by Peter Rudd

“My recent cityscapes depict the streets, buildings, parks and docks of Hobart. I like to paint outdoors because I am drawn to the colour of light at different times of day, and in different weather, and I want to translate my experience of looking at it into paint. 

Painting these pictures has been my way of getting to know Hobart. I have chosen subjects which produce an emotional response in me, and which I feel express the charm of the city. I have especially enjoyed observing the layering of old and new architecture which can be seen in Hobart wherever one goes.”
