22 FULL COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS BY PETER ROBSON.
THE FIRST EDITION OF THE BOOK (2,000 COPIES) INCLUDES A COMPLIMENTARY PRINT OF ANY OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS IN THE BOOK.

Mayor, Dave Marr, presenting 35 yr. anniversary
certificate to Eleanor & Steve |
Over 35 years ago, Peter and Eleanor came to the village of Sparta looking for a place to open a small studio for Peter to begin painting professionally and a gallery in which to show his work. The historical buildings of Sparta really appealed to them with their charm and authenticity, even though many of them needed major restoration. This was to be a passion for Peter and Eleanor over many years, to acquire and restore these buildings and have artists and artisans live and work in the village as they had done. Eleanor still lives in The Abbey, their gallery home, sharing it with visitors on special days, and next door at Peter Robson Studios, she and Steve Robson still continue to showcase Peter's artwork, even introducing new limited editions as the occasion arises.
They also have created a significant custom framing business, helping people from near and far to preserve and showcase their personal treasures. All of their custom framing is done on the premises with state of the art equipment including a computerized mat cutter which allows for fancy mat designs, limited only by your own imagination.
TO MARK THIS ANNIVERSARY, WE ARE OFFERING A 35% DISCOUNT ON ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING SHOWN FRAMED OR UNFRAMED IN THE GALLERY (EVEN ART CARDS)............AND ON ALL IN-STOCK CUSTOM FRAMING OF YOUR OWN TREASURES.

Exhibition and Sale of Original Pencil Sketches by Peter Robson
Original pencil sketches and paintings are on display in The Abbey, Peter's gallery-home, some of which are available to be acquired by collectors. These can be viewed on the weekends or by request and Eleanor or Steve would be pleased to share them with you.
Peter sketched locally and on his international travels. Sometimes even just what popped into his head at a particular time. He did not use photography very much as a reference tool, but preferred to sketch in pencil or watercolour to capture the essence of the subjects which he later would use in larger paintings.
Each of them is unique in that it offers a glimpse into Peter's artistic thought process and beautifully captures a small moment of time in his life.
