Peter Wagon At the start of his painting career, Peter Wagon painted picturesque Post Offices around the Country for the Post Office as part of a campaign to promote the Savings Bank. He also designed the Post Office Coronation Poster in 1953, which was displayed throughout the UK.His first exhibition was at Bury St. Edmunds, 40 years ago. Since then, there have been exhibitions at Harrods, Cardiff University, London, Crewe, The Federation of British Artists as well as New York, Germany and many other locations. In the course of his career he has painted all over the UK. Peter is particularly proud of the commission to paint seven Stately Homes for their owners; Woburn, Blenheim, Beaulieu, Harewood House, Longleat, Castle Howard and Warwick Castle. The collection, named the 'Magnificent Seven' was exhibited in turn at each of the houses mentioned, and at the end of the tour, returned to the owners’ collections.
Later Watercolours include Floors Castle, Windsor, Chatsworth, Chenies, Hatfield House and many others. He particularly enjoys his long association with Woburn Abbey, especially the more recent paintings featuring interiors at Woburn, some of which can be seen in publications about the Abbey. Peter has lived in Hemel Hempstead for over 50 years and recalls his association in the early years of the Heritage Trust, The Arts Trust, Friends of St Mary's fund raising for the Spire and the Hemel Old Town High Street Association. His drawings and watercolours featured hundreds of subjects around the Dacorum area. Abbey Bank own and display 6 original watercolours in their Marlowes office, Hemel Hempstead.
