"Being hired to do an original painting becomes a very enjoyable challenge for me. Working closely with my client(s) to decide on subject matter, size, and so forth: I'll work with them through my entire design process. As long as I can keep to wild animals and birds; without having to depict anything manmade. My main focus is on native Florida wildlife and pristine landscapes. Extensive research takes me out into the natural world to closely observe wildlife; along with the time of year, the weather, and to study what's growing in the particular wild place chosen for the background. Going by my pencil sketches, photography, HD video, direction of light and color balance studies, I will work and rework different designs, until we (the investor and I) decide on the best composition and size.

Please watch my new film, "The Creation Process" on the Short Films page; it will give you an in-depth look at what goes into my paintings, from my start out in the wilderness, to the completion of the painting on my easel." -Peter R. Gerbert
