Peter Robinson
Welcome!
I've been painting with watercolours for over 40 years. I love the way the paint can capture light and texture, as reflected in the paintings on this site. My work has been accepted for major exhibitions and has featured in popular art magazines.
If you have any questions or would like to commission me to paint a particular scene for you, please feel free to contact me.

Ramsey Lighthouse (Isle of Man)
50x 32cm (unframed)
I used to live half a mile from this lighthouse. Our older son used to jump off the pier from this place - Health & Safety eat your heart out!!
Point of Ayre Lighthouse (Isle of Man)
33 x 52cm (unframed)
I love painting lighthouses and as it's almost 4 years since I last did a painting of the Point of Ayre lighthouse (Isle of Man) I decided to have another go. I used to live a few miles away in Ramsey and the Point of Ayre was a beautiful, quiet, 'on the edge' place to visit.
Maughold Lighthouse (Isle of Man)
This wonderful view and lighthouse are in the North of the Isle of Man. It's Maughold Lighthouse halfway down the steep drop from land to sea.
A glimpse of Port Erin (Isle of Man)
35 x 55cm (unframed)
I took a photo of this view when on the Isle of Man in August. The composition really appealed to me. Wow! I thought. I must have a go at painting that! Several months later - here we are!!😀😀😀

Bankside Building (Hull)

Staithes (N.Yorks)
(36 x 46 unframed)
Most paintings I see of Staithes (North Yorks.) are understandably of boats and the beach. This watarecolour is based on a photo I took with my back to the sea. I find the variety of cottages (colour & style) fascinating.
Blue House (Alnmouth)
44 x 32cm (unframed)
When visiting the Alnmouth Arts Festival I was staying in an AirBnB near this house. I just had to paint it. It really is these colours!

Hornsea Houses
32 x 50cm (unframed)
This is my latest watercolour. It's of houses in Hornsea (a view from Grosvenor Rd.). It's another where the shapes & shadows really got me looking. (perhaps I'm just a nerd! 🤣) However, you have to agree that the washing on the line is great. It really was that colour when I took the photo!
Church Lane, Peel (Isle of Man)
46 x 33cm (unframed)
SOLD
I first painted this narrow lane in Peel (Isle of Man) last year. I was encouraged that the painting sold! Since then, the house at the end of the lane has been painted blue (It was a grey/brown render. I just had to paint it agian. I like the blue!!😀
Kyrenia, Northern Cyprus
33 x 50cm (unframed)
A watercolour of a scene in Kyrenia, Northern Cyrus. The mix of shapes and textures of the doors, walls & windows really appealed to me when I came across this photo, especially in sunlight!

The Red Wall
34 x 54cm (unframed)
SOLD
This is a watercolour based on a photo of a building that I took on a trip to New York. Lots of bricks and windows on a sunny day which is a good combination for enjoyable painting for me!
Castle St. Peel2 (Isle of Man)
31 x 41cm (unframed)
This is my second painting of Castle St. Peel (Isle of Man). This one is from a different angle. I love the shapes that the shadows create really adding to the composition. I based this on a photo I took last August. It gives promise of warmer sunnt days perhaps not too far away!! 😎
