Here Comes The Fun by artist Peter Kuttner
Mixed Media on Canvas | 64 x 54 inches

If you’ve been searching for a piece that captures that sweet spot between serenity and spontaneity, look no further than Here Comes The Fun by Peter Kuttner, now showing at Bayshore Art Gallery in Naples, Florida. This 64 x 54 inch mixed media painting invites you to pause, breathe, and drift into its tranquil yet vibrant world.

With a title like Here Comes The Fun, you might expect something loud or bold. Instead, Kuttner offers something more nuanced—a moment of quiet joy captured in motion. The canvas is awash in soft, calming blues, evoking the vast openness of sky and sea. It feels like standing at the edge of a marina just after sunrise, when the water is glassy and the day holds infinite possibility.

What really draws you in, though, are the sails.

They rise from the surface like bright fragments of light, some catching hints of sunlight or sky, others catching your imagination. Each sail seems to have a personality: one angles gently with the breeze, another pushes forward with determined energy. The effect is both playful and poetic, like a fleet of tiny dreams setting out on the water.

Kuttner’s use of mixed media adds depth and intrigue to the piece. Layers of textured paint, subtle collage elements, and maybe even a bit of graphite or pastel bring variety to the surface. The materials work together to suggest wind and movement—nothing is too tightly rendered, allowing space for interpretation and emotion. If you’ve ever watched sails shift with the wind, you’ll feel that same gentle tension here.

This is the kind of painting that speaks differently to everyone. Some see a peaceful day at sea. Others see a metaphor for freedom, or the beauty of letting go. And some just love the way it makes them feel—calm, inspired, maybe even a little adventurous.

At 64 x 54 inches, Here Comes The Fun has presence. It’s not overwhelming, but it will certainly anchor a room. Whether you’re placing it in a coastal living room, a modern workspace, or a quiet retreat, it adds a sense of ease and uplift.

Peter Kuttner is known for his thoughtful compositions and his ability to use texture and color to evoke feeling. Here Comes The Fun is a great example of that approach—balanced, lively, and layered with meaning.
