Peter Corbin | Shooter's Hill Press | Commissioned Portraits

A fine sporting art portrait is more than an accurate presentation of a person and his activity. A fine painting conveys a feeling of space and light, of intensity and sensitivity to the sport.

For 30 years Peter has had the privilege and pleasure of recording the sporting life, the people who pursue it and the places they love. The majority of his paintings are commissioned sporting portraits of the field sports - hunting and fishing. His work also covers equine sports, landscapes and informal portraits. He paints from his own photographs and travels to wherever he needs to get them. Peter is as unobtrusive as possible in recording the elements of the painting.

The person need not be the primary focus of the painting. For many people the landscape is as important as their prowess at the sport. For Peter, the mood of the painting is the most important aspect of a portrait.

Sporting Portrait Commissions begin at $20,000 in a standard size of 20 x 30 inches. Prices are based on complexity of scene and size of canvas. An estimate will be given upon initial consultation. After the photography is complete Peter does a preliminary drawing. This is sent for approval and final determination as to size and cost of the painting.

Current commissions are running 8 to 10 months from the point of photography.
