Marine Life Artist, George Anderson

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.

Yellow has made a definite mark in 2007. I love it paired with greens and grays. This cute bedroom designed by Amy Lau is a perfect example of yellow done right. The yellow feels fun but it doesn’t get crazy. The grey and mossy greens help ground the color and give it some sophistication. The white duvets keeps the color crisp and casual.

I am loving these new pieces by Lauren Wolf. Each piece is cast in sterling silver depicting abstract sea life forms. The pieces have a great texture and nubby feel. Think: lost jewels from the bottom the sea. Get the booty at thisisauto.com. Check out her portfolio here.lauren wolf 2 705115 Lauren Wolf Sea Jewelry
