Peyton Z. Peebles, Jr. is a self-taught artist that specializes in oil portraits of people and pets by commission. He
has painted over 100 portraits of people ranging in ages from 6 days to over 90 years. Some of his works now hang at
the University of Florida where he has painted 9 former Deans, but most are in private collections. He has over 50
years of painting experience and paints only in oils using only the highest quality materials, such as linen canvas.
Peyton uses suitable photographs as models for his work, so the old fashioned, time-consuming, method of sitting
for a portrait is eliminated. This modern procedure is vital in “freezing” the expressions of children so that their
images can be as lifelike as they really are. The old days of a busy professional person having to sit for 20 hours
are gone. An additional advantage is that he can work for people anywhere in the country, even though he is
physically located in Gainesville, Florida.
