PETER ELLENSHAW — Disney artist, Peter Ellenshaw contributed his movie-making artistry to the films of Walt Disney for over 30 years. His paintings express a unique poetic beauty and rich realism. The colors have a jewel-like quality which lights his paintings. Ellenshaw's passionate brushstrokes bring to life breathtaking landscapes.
Peter Ellenshaw describes his paintings as his own individual kind of realism. His paintings represent the truth of a scene as he sees it: "A picture must look real. If I can't believe the picture I paint, I am not satisfied. Paintings must be alive." Ellenshaw's paintings are, indeed, alive; his canvases are infused with his passion for the land and the sea.

HARRISON ELLENSHAW - Many sons growing up in the shadow of a famous father feel that they want to carve their own paths in life. “That was me,” says Harrison Ellenshaw, son of Disney Legend and master painter Peter Ellenshaw, who won an Oscar for his visual effects work on "Mary Poppins” and was nominated a total of five times for the Academy Award.
“I had grown up fascinated by my father's painting." Harrison says. “He would sometimes give me canvas and paints.” I have photographs of me painting when I was a small boy. My father's life was painting, even during meals he would bring the canvases he was working on into the kitchen and sit and eat and look, criticizing his own work. My mother was not always pleased that this was how the family spent mealtime, but she understood his passion. But I found both this passion and his incredible talent intimidating. I was convinced I could never live up to any of it.”
