John Anderson
Haliburton School of The Arts
John Anderson is a veteran studio and on-location painter. His excitement about the language and the process of painting is infectious. When he is not managing Curry's Art Store in Barrie he is painting or teaching. John's first major influence was the work of Andrew Wyeth; later it was the Group of Seven and Tom Thomson. His interest in the work of North American impressionists such as Aldro Hibbard was followed by interest in contemporary plein air painters like Matt Smith, David Curtis, Trevor Chamberlain, Kevin MacPherson and Richard Schmid. John's work is a blend of many of these painters', along with his own interpretation of light and colour. His work is powerful and filled with the mood of the moment. Light is fleeting - its impact leaves a profound impression - learning to see that and capture it in paint is John's passion. John is represented by Ethyl Curry Gallery in Haliburton, Mad & Noisy Gallery, Creemore, Ontario, Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts Gallery in Collingwood and Riverside Gallery, London, UK. www.johndavidanderson.ca
