About Me
- Pete
- New Jersey
- Since my first trip to Gettysburg as a young boy, I've been captivated by History. I get it from my mom. Although she passed away when I was just 13, she still had an influence on me. All our family vacations were stitched around some historical site. So, history geeks are in my blood. I'm a graphic designer by profession and a semi-amateur painter. I love to explore history through my paintbrush. I've also done living history to get a first hand feel for "what it was like". Looking at history through the eyes of the common man (or woman) and understanding the personal, human drama is really the spice that flavors the historical stew!

Super Sunday!
Here's a 9x12" oil painting I did which I hope will get you in the mood for Super Bowl Sunday! OK, my beloved Giants came up short, but this should be a good game!
Will the Cardinals make history on Sunday with the franchises first ever Super Bowl win? Hey, you never know!
There's no history lesson with this post today....but if you are having a history jones you can check out my new blog about Art in History at http://www.historynet.com/
Correction....the Weider History Group site is called Great History at www.greathistory.com. It's a test site now, but will go live in a day or two.

Nice painting Pete. Where is the Art in History piece? There's a lot to navigate on that site. Could you post a more direct link? Thanks. ~Gary
Love the dynamics of this image! You eyes zig zag from the ref to the player to the linesman just like following a real game. Cool!
Great painting peter.
Lots of stuff going on here.
Start at midnight in Britain.
But has always I stay up and watch.
Best Regards
Gary, I don't know what happened to Historynet.com...they were supposed to implement a new website on friday.
Sheila, thanks! I'm happy with the composition on this one for a change.
Trevor, you're a trooper! I hope it's a good game for you!
