ist Statement

​" I've been fascinated by landscape painting ever since first seeing French Impressionism as a youngster. Although I formally studied art during the height of abstract expressionism, I always really loved looking at landscape paintings. "

Biography

 

Over the years I've painted en plein air in France, Illinois, Washington, Oregon and California. Some of my pieces are completed on location and some in the studio. Most of the paintings on this site are of places where I've painted on location, or sketched and photographed. Please feel free to contact me regarding the artwork if you have questions.

 

Some of you may know me as a guitarist. Although not represented on this site, my recordings are available online. Just type in Neil Andersson, Pearl Django and Malibu Manouche, or visit www.pearldjango.com. My most recent recording is called Strings - a collaboration with California guitarist Craig Sharmat on Innervision Records. Recordings are available at all major outlets and services, such as iTunes, etc.

 

I hope you enjoy my paintings and drawings - and thanks again for visiting!
