This is from my agency, Seven North:
Florida landscape artist Peter Pettegrew has been hired to consult at historic Gatorland, one the first of the classic tourist attractions of old Florida and the last one still operating as a private business. It is conveniently close to Peter’s home base in Orlando, Florida.
The muralist art directors at Gatorland hired Mr. Pettegrew to consult on a major (and by major, we mean physically huge) section of the project.
Pettegrew was retained on the basis of his vast knowledge of the painted Florida landscape and his 20-odd years of roaming the Kissimmee River Basin, the Everglades and the St Johns River Basin.
Distilling his many experiences combining plein air painting and Dixie crocodilians, Peter says, “Gators love it it when people are just standing around– like someone painting a landscape.”
Love me some ‘gators!

Renowned Central Florida art Peter Pettegrew donated his painting “Kissimmee River Basin” to benefit the Carter Center, which sold at the 2008 Winter Weekend Auction held in Port St Lucie, Florida. A very good price was made, and former President Jimmy Carter is pictured here with the painting.
In total, the auction gathered more than one million dollars for The Carter Center, which is committed to advancing human rights and alleviating unnecessary human suffering.
