Has a bio of John Anderson in a pocket on the backside. “Cornbread” as he is known to his family and friends, was raised on a farm in Lumpkin County, GA. He had no interest in painting until 1995, when he started painting his life experiences on pieces of wood and cardboard. He paints animals from the farm he works and the woods he hunts. Each painting has a story, sometimes written on the back. Using bright acrylic colors and large pieces of wood, he captures what is fast being pushed out due to the fact that Atlanta is getting so big. Cornbread’s foxes and guinea hens are his most widely recognized animals. The fox is often in a scene where he is hunting prey, such as birds, snakes and beavers. He is in the tall grass, the grapevines or running through the woods in pursuit of his next meal. The guinea hen paintings have evolved over the past 5 years, and continue to do so. He is the most endearing creature to Cornbread’s fans. Beyond foxes and guinea hens, Cornbread loves to paint birds. He frequently comments on the beauty of a red-headed woodpecker or a hawk in flight. His paintings have included quails, turkeys, whippoorwills, black crowns, bluebirds, roosters, hawks, eagles and the one-legged chicken he once had on his farm. Although Cornbread doesn’t like to be called deeply religious, his love of God is very obvious in his work. He regularly tries to find ways to paint the bigger picture. Each painting has significant meaning to him. Cornbread is a man who paints because of his passion. His humor, honestly and modesty make him one of the best new folk artists in the south.
