of painting, most notably about the phenomena of the light effect and
shadow. Known primarily for his Landscapes and Still Life paintings,

in the Hudson River Valley, he strives to translate the beauty of this
area and the nearby Catskill region into his canvases. . Popular subject

scenes, the Maine Coast, Vermont pastorals, and New York Cityscape views.
He works in the vernacular of the Barbizon painters, emphasizing the
light effect and mood. Mr. Gunderson currently teaches popular classes
in plein-aire painting, still life painting, and has classes in drawing.
He also conducts workshops and painting demonstrations throughout the
Northeast. His aim is to instill the concepts of volume and light to
his students, providing a way to expression beyond mere imitation. |
