Nisbet, P. A. oil on boad, Cottonwoods, Zion Canyon, 9" x 12". Peter A. Nisbet: My mother, an artist in North Carolina, taught me the fundamentals of painting when I was old enough to hold a brush. I took courses at the Corcoran Museum and other lessons privately. In 1980, I came to Scottsdale. I paint landscapes and skyscapes, "atmospherics," almost vapor paintings, which express my personal mythology that nature is mysterious and miraculous. A fellow artist and I have chased storms all over the Southwest and Mexico. Then, last year, I went to the Art Students League in New York to study with Frank Mason, one of the last great knowledgeable teachers of past paint traditions. I wanted my paintings to speak the way "old master" pieces spoke to me in museums.
