The Gatorland, Florida Project Continues–
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!
