Five years later he started to number and comment his artworks, which he collected in 29 «Bildbüchern (books of pictures)».
In the winter months from 1905 to 1907 he stayed in the Todtnauer Hütte, where a lot of his oil studies arise.
The snowy winter landscapes became his typical theme and he called himself «Schneemoler (snowpainter)». 1917 he received his professorship by Grand Duke Friedrich II.
In 1927 he had an exhibition with artists like Curt Liebich, Julius Heffner, Wilhelm Nagel, Wilhelm Wickertsheimer a.o., they called themselves «Die Schwarzwälder (the Black Forests)». He died on the 20th of March in 1935 in Hinterzarten. Today his works are extremely appreciated because the snowy landscape present the untouched nature.

Peter Krämer II came from a triumvirate of Bavarian-American painters of the same name. His father Peter Krämer I (1823 - 1907) studied under a grand master of historical painting, Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld, with the support of King Ludwig I. He emigrated to the USA in the 1840s, where he made a name for himself with, among other things, depictions of the American War of Liberation. While Peter Krämer III (1896 - 1972) specialised in church interiors, it was the middle one, Peter Krämer II, who focused on genre painting and whose present work bears witness to his eye for cosy, Bavarian folklore and his interest in the attentively observed depiction of rustic character types. His small-format watercolours usually depict elderly men, whom he captured with an almost obsessive love of detail, with an unmistakable focus on their traditional costumes and individual attributes representing various activities traditionally associated with Bavarian quaintness. In particular, he succeeded in giving his models a robust, nature-loving appearance, which, not without a humorous wink, is intended to convey to the viewer a feeling of serious, down-to-earth attachment to one's homeland and at the same time of uncomplicated, natural cordiality.
