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:

"Wow! That is a very nice one! Harry must have really been "in the zone" when he did this one! I think it is one of the finest I've seen of his, Jim!  Thanks for sharing these with us!"

When Steve Rude saw it he wrote:
 
"Yeah, when I saw this one I gasped too.  To put it in plain fact, I would put “commercial artist” Harry Anderson up against any artist who pretty much ever lived.  He’s just that good.  He knew everything there was about the craft of making art, and he proved it 2 –3 times a month for his lifetime.  Let any of the critics chew on that."
 
When James Gurney saw it 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...
