Today,
living with his family in Western Colorado, Gerald
has achieved many goals in his career
as one of the countries top watercolor artists. He travels every
year in search of new and exciting subject matter, painting on
location as in the studio. His extensive travels have taken him
to China, Morocco, Portugal, Spain, Tahiti, Italy, Greece, Great
Britain, Ireland, Poland, Czech Republic, France, Germany,
Switzerland, Mexico, and locations throughout he United States.
At home he continues to paint the splendor of the Rocky
Mountains and the red rock canyon lands near his home. Gerald
says that his watercolors are a "slice of my life", a very
personal view of the world that he experiences wherever he
travels, both at home and abroad. "Plein air painting on
location has helped me approach my watercolors in a very
spontaneous and colorful way, boldly responding to each exciting
subject with great emotion." Gerald’s maturity and
self-confidence in this respect has taken him to that level.
Fritzler watercolors have been
featured in a number of fine art magazines including American
Artist, Artist of the Rockies and the Golden West, The Artist's
Magazine, Southwest Art, and Art of the West. His work has been
published in numerous books including "Best of Watercolor",
"Splash III, IV, and V", "A Gallery of Marine Art",
"Contemporary Western Artists", "Watercolor Expressions", "A
Simple Secret to Better Painting", and others. Gerald is a
Signature member of the American Watercolor Society, The Rocky
Mountain National Watermedia Society, International Society of
Marine Painters, Northwest Rendezvous Group, and The Laguna
Plein Air Painters Association. |
