Plein Air Painting by G. W. Anderson


  • Norway House 913 East Franklin Avenue Minneapolis United States (map)

Minneapolis-based artist G. W. Anderson paints with a love for the outdoors. Many of his landscapes are now on display at Norway House. Of his work, Anderson writes:

I don’t much like artist’s statements.

I do like painting from the shade on a hot summer ay or out of the wind in winter; listening, alone, to what nature only whispers.

In each painting some note of the landscape cried out to be painted. Hearing that call, I rushed to unload my kit, set up , an get to work.

After a few hours, I had a painting, often falling short of my expectation, but sometimes, containting a small gem that reflected that original calling.

Today, I share those whispers: caught on the wind, in the grass and trees, or raining from the sun, and I invite you to join the conversation.

More than 40 works are displayed in the Galleri at Norway House. There is no cover to view this collection, though donations are greatly appreciated in support of Norway House’s mission.

G. W. Anderson’s work is for sale, and if you’re lucky, you may even get to meet the artist. He’s at Norway House most mornings and all day on Thursdays. If you’d like to arrange a private showing, contact info@norwayhouse.org.
