Two exquisite examples of Harry's painting brillance....

"The Mad Draycotts" Pt 1 - February 1953

What a *gorgeous* forest scene!! I just wish that big text balloon wasn't there so we could see the entire painting!
When Nathan Greene saw this one he wrote:
"Hey, Jim, Thanks for the scan. That's a beautiful Harry Anderson. Hard to paint forest interiors effortlessly. So many '50s illustrators worried that their magazine work would be discarded and forgotten forever. If it wasn't for people like Leif Peng and Dan Zimmer and you, it might have suffered that fate."

"The Mad Draycotts" Pt 2 - March 1953

Another gorgeous example of Harry Anderson's painting brillance -- the smooth-toned faces are stunningly nice, and there again is the green-glass lamp he often used in his paintings casting its soft glow over the scene...
