“Door County Seasons” Opens at Cottage Row Gallery

“Burst of Autumn Color” by Jack Anderson.

Jack Anderson’s “Door County Seasons” opens with a meet-the-artist reception on Sept. 15 from 10 am – 1 pm at Cottage Row Framing & Gallery. Light refreshments will be served.

The show unveils dozens of new watercolors capturing the seasons in Door County. In a wide range of shapes and sizes, Anderson reveals his love for Door County and nature.

“For the past forty some years I have concentrated almost solely on the Door County scene,” says Anderson. “I still find the area very inspiring and every painting has its roots in an actual place. I try to put a sense of comfort in my paintings, even my winter subjects do not reflect a harshness of the season. Mother Nature has provided me with a lifetime of subject matter even though I nudge her toward slight departures…she has been a constant partner.”

Anderson has worked with watercolors since the mid 1960s. He became a full-time painter in 1977 when he opened the Jack Anderson Gallery in Sister Bay, which successfully exhibited and sold his work for over 30 years. In 2007, Anderson and his wife Sue retired and sold the gallery.

They retired from running the gallery, but Anderson did not retire from painting. He has exhibited watercolors at Cottage Row Gallery in Fish Creek since 2008.

Cottage Row Framing & Gallery is located on Highway 42 at Orchard Country Winery & Market, just south of Fish Creek. The gallery is open daily 10 am – 5 pm and Sundays 10 am – 4 pm. For more information call 920.868.2626.
