Peter Layne Arguimbau

Layne's marine and seascape paintings have that luminous look of old world art. His prize-winning works are in the collections of yachtsmen, corporations and even European royalty. But Arguimbau is a versatile painter -- he paints the life around him, including portraits, animals, even religious subjects. He describes himself as a classical artist painting in Flemish Technique, grinding his own paints in oils that he cooks. He paints in a studio modeled after the Dutch Masters directing the light with shutters in a barn in backcountry Greenwich.
