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.
