FOR MORE INFORMATION: Jerry Peters; www.jppetersart.com MENLO PARK, Calif. -- The Portola Art Gallery presents "Boats in Different Environments," a collection of acrylic paintings on canvas from Jerry's many travels. A reception for the artist will be held on Saturday, August 8, from 1:00 - 4:00 P.M. Jerry's love of painting began after retiring from the fire service in 1996. He spent 30 years as a firefighter, the last ten as a Battalion Chief in the Menlo Park Fire Protection District. His career drove his early work in acrylics, which featured fire engines, fire helmets and fire scenes. For the past 28-plus years, Jerry has specialized in portraits, landscapes, global travel scenes, and vintage vehicles. He has a special fondness for painting vintage vehicles in rural settings, blending the beauty of nature with the character and history of battered vehicles. He explains: "I love painting vintage vehicles left outdoors in their retirement years -- their life stories must be fantastic. I try to capture that feeling in my paintings." Jerry often paints from photographs taken during his travels, and his work includes scenes from France, Italy, Germany, Belgium, Egypt, Greece, England and Turkey, as well as from across the U.S. and Canada. He accepts commissions, and his artwork has been exhibited for the last 15 years at the Portola Art Gallery. Jerry's work can be viewed online at www.jppetersart.com.
