About the artist:
Gunnar Donald Anderson, age 95 of Sonoma CA passed away on April 26, 2022. Gunnar was born to Sven Gunnar Anderson and Margaret Hultien Anderson on March 3, 1927 in Berkeley, California. He served his country as a member of the United States Coast Guard from 1945 to 1946.
After two years of study at the California School of Fine Arts in San Francisco, he attended Los Angeles Art Center School and in 1951 earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree. From 1951 to 1953, he worked as an art director for the advertising agency McCann Erickson in New York City, joining Cunningham and Walsh in 1953, moving to Batten, Barton, Dustine and Osborne in San Francisco in 1955.
Beginning in 1963, Gunnar enjoyed a freelancecareer specializing in portraits of children in oil. He also painted beautiful landscapes and WWI airplanes, many of which were published in flying magazines. He was the illustrator for the children's book Oscar Lincoln Busby Stokes.
Gunnar and Virginia Fletcher Bullock were married in Philadelphia in 1953. They lived in New York City and later relocated to Sonoma, California where they raised three children, Greta Battaglia (Mark), Karin Gare (Robert), Paul Anderson (Anya) and three grandchildren; Natalie, Kristin and Thomas.
Virginia passed in 2000 after which Gunnar met Florence Rose Rosenberg and they married in 2005 spending many wonderful years traveling together until her death in 2019.
Gunnar loved the outdoors. Fishing took him from the lakes and ponds of California and Canada to the oceans of Mexico and Alaska. He also loved flying. He built his first glider in his garage and spent weekends flying with other glider pilots. He also built remote control WWI model airplanes and took great joy in flying them, except for an occasional crash.
Viniculture became an interest for Gunnar, and he planted a small vineyard and created award-winning homemade wines. His ribbons and awards covered a wall in his winery. He loved having a glass or two of his own vintages on his deck overlooking the valley. He was a member of Bohemian Club and took pride in creating special works of art for the Club. work of Gunnar Anderson is held in numerous collections nationwide.

"Fence Jumper", oil painting, figurative, boy, flight, field, outside, summer
Located in Toronto, Ontario
"Fence Jumper" is an oil painting with chalk and graphite on wood panel, and measures 16" high by 12" wide. It is finished with a clear resin across the surface, lending the artwork a particular warmth and liquidity that is rare and lovely to behold. Typical of the artist, the painting is a mystery despite its apparent simplicity – a boy, a young lad leaps over the fence, seen here mid-flight. It's clearly important to the boy. His focus and sense of achievement ring out. Drawn lines and painterly brushstrokes render the scene, but also note the toned wood coming through as color and texture. All of it held, as if in time, by the resin layer acting as a lens to both transmit this picture and admit light to the picture. A true artifact.
