“Morning Sequence (Modernism)”
40” x 60” oil on panel
2025 Brooks Anderson
Evocative, provocative, complex, imminent, quiet meditations… this is where I dwell with my landscapes in this current series. The overall arrangement of earth tones countered with the cooling turquoise is the first thing the eye senses. Then, there’s this four-panel narrative, as if four Japanese screens - each one, a painting unto itself. This painting will be on view soon at Skidmore Contemporary Art in Laguna Beach.

“Portal (High Desert)”
48” x 36” oil on canvas
2025 Brooks Anderson
The challenge came in: with a few completed horizontal, panoramic paintings of Route 66 subject matter, do one that’s vertical. Job done. With a hovering thunderhead in the background, this deserted truck stop from west Texas proved to be a riveting, perfect subject. This painting will be on its way to Sue Greenwood Fine Art in Laguna Beach for a show entitled “LAND AND SEA,” opening July 22nd. Sue Greenwood Fine Art

For all you locals in Northern California, there will be a rare opportunity to see my latest work here in Sonoma County this September 22nd, from 4-6pm. Many have asked if I would ever have a show close to home. This is your chance to see smaller examples of my very latest. These are a few of the new paintings that will be presented at my studio.
Refreshments and delicious hors d'oeuvres will be served before I speak about my new work. To attend, please send me an RSVP by DM.
I'll be looking forward to seeing you, Brooks
