Collecting Sunset Paintings

Sunset Paintings aren’t a subject you would normally associate with Ski Artist Pete Caswell who has a cult following among those in the know in the ski world.

Sunset Paintings and Sunset Prints

With the Ski Paintings fetching upwards of £2000 for the larger pieces you can still pick up a beautiful colourful large Sunset painting by Pete for less than £1000 and a Sunset Ocean Print Printed in the USA and Europe . For 20 years Pete has been painting these unbelievable sunsets from his Art Studio near the West Coast UK in Devon.

After a hard winter of skiing and snowboarding in the European Alps, Pete returns to his home and studio in Devon to work even harder surfing and occasionally squeezing in painting the epic waves and sunsets which roll into this West Coast paradise.

“Its a blissful place at sunset and everyone should be able to share a piece of it. In fact it’s just about Bliss all the time”  Take a look at Pete’ Sunset Prints.

Sunset Painting and Print from Saunton in Devon

The beaches in North Devon are an endless source of colour and light for Pete, with wide vistas, endless skies and beautiful beaches. Saunton beach which is just minutes from the studio and the scene of many famous films, photos and album covers. It has a mirror like reflection in the sand when the tide goes out and this creates a wonderful effect for Pete to capture on canvas.

You can get a glimpse of Pete’s summer ocean lifestyle the sunsets and ocean scenery in this historic short video.

Bright and uplifting painting with beautiful rich colours in the background giving it real presence. Waves laping into the shore from the setting sun. The shining sun reflects off the sea using real gold, silver and copper leaf. Oil on canvas 100cm x 80cm x 1.8cm deep.

As part of his Sunset series, Pete spent several years travelling the globe following the rich and famous in their beautiful yachts hosting some wonderful sunset sailing exhibitions to display his paintings.

But do check out the shipping info on the prints below

IMPORTANT UK & Europe Shipping info for Prints if you live in UK Europe. 
(If you live in the USA then everything ships from USA so please ignore this section)

The simple option is to order a Print or Canvases Print from the Back Catalogue (https://pete-caswell.pixels.com/art ) as they ship from UK or Europe if you live in Europe – If you add a frame to the Prints it gets more complicated as they ship from Europe and USA . (also if you add a frame to a canvas). Acrylic prints only ship from the USA.
If you live outside the USA then either order a print and get it framed locally which is a cheaper option or order a Canvas Print which doesn’t need framing. The normal prints unframed are printed in the UK / Europe.
You can double check the shipping by the flags next to each item in the checkout.If you want to order a framed print and you live in the UK / Europe then add the framed print to the cart and at checkout check the flag next to the order. You want to see either a Netherlands or UK flag but not a USA flag. Some frames only ship from USA and some from Netherlands. Contact me for assistance.

If you order a frame from USA, the shipping is very costly and you will get charged VAT at 20% at customs and get a handling charge plus a small delay. So its dearer and more hassle. Alternatively you can email me and I can upload the print to my new UK print site – SkiPrints.co.uk. If you want a framed print.

New Luxury Art Lodges in North Devon by Pete Caswell

Luxury Hotel Suite dropped into a wild flower meadow.

DSC_0436The impetus for the new lodges came from the ever expanding and successful art business. We needed more space to show case the larger Pete Caswell paintings of the beautiful places from around the world. The combination of lodges and art display spaces fitted a niche in the market and was the new buzzword in the art market. Making art more accessible and more appreciative to the audience is the current vogue. By bringing the art display into the familiar surroundings of a holiday space makes the art easier to appreciate. You can sit in comfort in privacy and enjoy the art while you enjoy your holiday, over time and throughout the day.

More Information on the luxury lodges www.petecaswell.co.uk/wp2/the-art-gallery-lodges/

DSC_0430

The brief for the rooms was to design a lodge which felt like a hotel suite but with the added luxury of a small kitchen area to prepare breakfast, lunches and snacks. In keeping with the paintings they were to have a contemporary, luxurious feel and cutting edge design, so only the best materials were to be chosen. Marble in the bathroom with ceramic oak floors. Walnut floor to the lounge and kitchen area. Pink Persian Marble and viened golden quartz Travertine were to adorn some of the kitchens with walnut cabinets. The roofs of the buildings are hand crafted zinc, with cedar walls and aluminium windows.

DSC_0419Outside the decks are Yellow Balau, used on many yachts, with stainless steel rails and fittings. A rigged sail overhead conjures up the feelings of sailing with the hardwood decking and polished stainless fittings. From your deck you can survey the hay meadow and orchard trees in there various stages of the season. Beyond and only just peaking through the trees are two SSSI areas of woodland and flowers with the Biosphere of the Dunes just beyond about 3/4 mile away. Its a great place to spot birds.

Its nearly buttercup time in the meadows surrounding the Lodges
Its nearly buttercup time in the meadows surrounding the Lodges

All this luxury was to be dropped into the middle of one of the hay meadows surrounding the art studio. Initially I really liked the idea of the Lodges sitting starkly in the middle of the hay field but part way through the project we realised they needed to feel a little more enclosed and cosy, To blend the lodges into their surroundings we planted beach hedges and varieties of eucalyptus trees and Italian Cyprus trees to add some depth and glamour. In the Meadow we have added some orchard apple trees to add to the extensive heritage orchard already planted.

DSC_0455

I have had this project in mind for many years a combination of all that I love in travel. I wanted to combine the outdoor feeling you get wandering in the fields with the comfort and convenience of a home and the sexiness of a hotel room.

 

DSC_0437I wanted a cross between a holiday house and a hotel room. Holiday houses are great value and spacious but they are sometimes too much like your own home and don’t feel different enough to your own daily life.

DSC_0447

I love hotels, they make for a special break but the daily room service interruptions and corridor noise made me think of building a big hotel room with a small kitchen area for snacks and breakfast and just drop it into one of our hay fields.

DSC_0463

This way you can have breakfast and coffee when ever you feel like it and there are no noisy corridors or room service to interrupt those precious mornings.

DSC_0356s

Hope I have made something which you will all enjoy to stay in and inspire you to have more fun and happiness in life.

India Paintings and Prints of Meherabad and Meher Baba

Pete spent many years travelling, painting and exhibiting in India where the strong colours and sharp contrasts helped form his bold colour palette. Most of these paintings are quite small sketches which were exhibited and sold around India many years ago. Most of the images are from Meherabad and Meherazad in central India, the home of Meher Baba.

New Studio Display

Sunflower Painting For Sale

Over this coming year much will be changing at the Art Studio. We are expanding the display space for the paintings for sale into the large 3 acre flower meadow next to the art studio. To try and give guests a feel for the paintings and where they are created, we are building 3 display studios in the field which will each be themed around a different painting subject and displayed to their optimum in large modern rooms.

The new studio spaces have been designed as luxury hotel suites carefully placed in our wild flower meadow so guests can relax in comfort while taking in the paintings. Each unit will be beautifully designed with marble bathroom, walnut floors, modern zinc roofs and beautiful views. We hope they will be ready for next year. The large paintings for these studios will be the focus of my attention for the next 12 months and the new paintings are something special. I will be keeping these new works of art under wraps until the grand opening.
