Marine Life Artist, George Anderson

Posted on | December 19, 2007 | Comments Off

Feeling inspired by the sea today I thought I would share my favorite marine life painter, George Anderson. I discovered George years ago in the sleepy little town of Rockport, Massachusetts. In an area that’s over run with tourist trap paintings and lobster memorabilia, George Anderson is an amazing treat in a sea of crap.

Anderson is a real painter. He gets it. The color is strong, composition unique, and the work just feels real. Bulky arms and gloves and large nets depict the hardship of the fishing industry. The bright blocky colors ignite the canvas helping to exude a somewhat timeless emotion of the sea. If you can’t afford the paintings he does sell his work in poster sized images.
