New Work from Peter Krobath

Peter Krobath has long been a favorite of all of us here at Monsoon, as well as visitors to the gallery. His photorealist works in oil and watercolor are highly detailed studies of landscape, florals, and everyday life. Peter stopped by the gallery on Tuesday and brought us 11 new oils. My favorites are Sunflowers and Sugar Maple Afternoon II, pictured below. Peter paints with a photographer's eye. His closeup studies of morning glories all contain an obvious understanding of depth of field, as different planes of the painting are in varying degrees of focus. Peter paints his landscapes from places that are familiar to him, like his home in the Hudson Valley to North Carolina to Lake Champlain in Vermont. Make sure you check out all of Peter's new work online or in person this Friday during Southside's First Friday celebration. We're open late until 10 so stop by and check out all of our new work!
