Peter was recently invited to appear on Amy West’s Television program “Like Love Want Need” www.likelovewantneed.com with Jacksonville based art consultant Susan Osteen whom he has teamed up with in the past on many art installation projects and commissions. The segment aired in January of 2013.

Peter will be the featured artist this month in the Small Painting Show at Fredlund Gallery. If you’re in the area, please stop by the gallery or visit www.fredlundgallery.com for more information.

A large commission came into the studio this fall which allowed Peter to work through several ideas with his collectors in the form of color oil sketches, before they settled on what was to become his most dramatic and spectacuar painting of the year!

To coincide with his opening at Thornebrook Gallery, Peter was the featured artist in Gallery, the art of life magazine for their fall issue. In addition to the front cover, the magazine devoted five pages of Peter’s paintings along with an interview about the inspiration for the landscapes that were present in his gallery showing.

Thanks to David, owner of Thornebrook Gallery in Gainsville for hosting another Pettegrew opeining. Peter and David enjoyed an evening of celebrating 30+ years of Thornebrook Gallery with an installation of Pettegrew Paintings and visits with local colletors durring this gallery event on a beautiful fall Friday night.
