Fish & Cornbread
Issue: 2020/07 – July
Here we are in July, right in the middle of a busy, strange summer.
We still want to be outside enjoying the great outdoors, nature at her finest, and we can still do so, just like John Anderson, better known as “Cornbread” to the droves of his fans and collectors.
Cornbread takes to the outdoors, no social distancing required, as he partakes in his favorite time-honored pastime – fishing!
Although aptly named the John James Audubon of the 21st Century for his depictions of various fowl, Cornbread also has quite the body of work in the finned realm.
Yes, the fishing bug has bit, and Cornbread has a number of new pieces, some of the fish he has never painted before, or they are painted in a different combination. New from his palette is a Bluegill and an underwater series.
These pieces in the series are numbers 1, 2, and 3, with the featured fish being Largemouth Bass, Catfish, Bluegills, Minnows, and a Snapping Turtle patrolling amongst the fish, each painting a little different in nature. Number 2 in the series shows the fish with a lure, the first one he ever turned on a lathe. He has painted two Mahi Mahi, and the one shown here is Number 2. If you love Cornbread’s new pieces and his older trout, you might also be interested in his hand-turned fishing lures.
Other news: At the gallery, we are excited to add our Summer Folk Art Flash Sale. With many summer travel plans cancelled for many, due to Covid-19, turn your time at home towards increasing your folk art collection and invest in art. To help us make it through the summer heat, we will offer, for a limited time, cool prices on selected pieces each week. Check our Facebook page each week to see that week’s flash sale. To see these new fish pieces, paintings and lures, as well as all of Cornbread’s other fabulous works, until we officially reopen, please feel free to call for an appointment.
