Walter Anderson by Walter Anderson — Fine Art

Walter Anderson fills the page with birds and plants drawn in clear lines. The picture sits inside Walter Anderson fine art work that studies Gulf Coast life. A white frame gives the picture a clean edge on the wall. That white wood line keeps the bright marks from drifting into the plaster. The bird shapes stay sharp against the lighter painted ground.

You see the ink outlines first, then the softer painted washes behind them. The white frame cuts the image off cleanly at the sides. That clear border lets the small plant forms stand on their own without blending into the paint around them.

On a narrow stairwell wall the white frame reads as a simple band. From the landing you notice the bird marks, while standing at the first step brings the painted leaves into view.
