Artist and poet, Peter Mark Butler, presents his paintings and poems as hand signed and numbered Giclée printsFrom majestic Scotland and picturesque England to glimpses of New Mexico, verdant hills to coastal splendour, animal magic to random portraits, I delight in creating a fusion of paintings and poems, which I esthetically produce as Art & Verse Giclée prints. |
Self Portrait
Hoary head, sullen glower,
Furrowed brow, mood so dour!
An imposter's pose
For oils and prose.
Peter Mark Butler
Oils, 1992
Hertfordshire
The Wagoners’ Pool
Three mighty oaks
Reach deep, reach high,
Reflected strength against cobalt sky.
Sentinels supreme astride the pool
Where wagoners once
Rested mules to cool.
Oils, 2002
Kent
Ikham
Ikham, secret village
hidden east in Kent,
Where time stands still
and silent hours are spent
Reflecting on the days
When rural ways
Filled farms and stores,
inn and church,
With life and laughter,
banter, merriment.
Oils, 1992

I take great joy in penning my poems to depict the themes and moods of each of my paintings, either whilst at the easel or when they are finished. Or the poems come first and inspire my brush strokes. I have also written a series of stories especially for cat lovers.

Scotland
Elgol
Elgol, where, swathed in
Mists and mystery,
The Cuillins reach the sea.
Oils, 1993
Animal Magic
Gosling Patrol
"Who goes there?
I'll take a gander."
"Steady, beware,
Don't raise your dander.
You're just a gosling,
Nothing grander."
Acrylics, 2002
America
West of Cloudcroft's lofty storeys,
Bounded by stepped bluff rock eyries,
Under cobalt skies,
The Sacramento Mountains range.
Beneath the looming shrouds
Of rose madder clouds
Stretch out White Sands
In shimmering strands,
Spanning Tularosa's floor.
Oils, 1993

Perspectives on Life Innocence Betrayed Bowie knife and blade, "Respect" is their meaningless byword. But true respect for relatives, friends and neighbours has been lost. Concern, love, for our fellow men and women all too often falls foul of callousness and hatred. Why? Because we've forgotten the meaning of true love and substituted human rights in its place. "Love is kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Love never fails!" ORDER GICLEE PRINT NOW! |
