It is called "freehand airbrushing", and is done without the aide of stencils or paintbrush. It contributes to a painting style that personifies his acclaimed reputation as an outdoor painter. His love of outdoor sports has taken him far and wide in the wilderness. Each year Jerry joins his friends on a painting and photography trip into the Western States, where they study the abundant wildlife and paint the mountainous landscapes.
