Investigate Peter Adderley's paintings, which are an idealised, stylised version of reality.

Take a long look at Harbour Post. What do the children notice about the painting?

Peter Adderley says that, as a child, he really enjoyed drawing and drew whenever he could. He used to copy pictures out of books and the more drawing he did, the better he became – and the better he became, the more people encouraged him. In spite of the fact that a careers adviser told Peter at the age of 14 that he should consider studying geography instead of art, he decided to stick at doing the thing he loved.
