Lucia Simpson Leaves Sturgeon Bay
Moonset and Sunrise is a watercolor painting that C. L. Peterson has done for the “Norse Mythology, the Muse” event at the Peninsula School or Art in Door County on October 1-November 6, 2010.
Details:
Norse Mythology, the Muse October 1- November 6, 2010
Opening reception: Oct 2, 5-7pm Free and open to the public
Vision Statement:
In the exhibition, “Norse Mythology, the Muse,” 2- and 3-D artists are invited to draw inspiration from ancient Norse myths. Inherently imaginative in their explanation of natural events, myths encourage the storyteller/artist to literally put their unique mark on a piece, in this case through symbolic and figurative designs.
The art in the gallery will be enhanced by prominent displays of the myth narratives, adding further meaning to this exhibition.

A depiction of Mr. Peterson. Pencil Drawing.

Enjoy these pencil drawings. It’s difficult to get the color/contrast correct with online media, but these images display detail, depth, and pencil stokes fairly well.
