GB Ross is an emerging artist of the impressionistic school whose painting career was reborn in the late 1990’s.
Prior to the advent of World War II, he attended classes at the Art Student’s League and the Grand Central School of Art in New York City where he studied under some of the great teachers of anatomy, portraiture, composition and the use of light in graphic renditions.
In 1947 he attended the School of Allied Arts in California to study with Stan Parkhouse whose fine sense of color, bold composition and impressionistic style had a great influence on his own striving to follow in the steps of artists such as Anders Zorn, Sorolla and Sargent who were masters of the sensitivity and strength that he so admired.
Due to his becoming a successful entrepreneur in the design world, the years flew by with only a small number of completed paintings that found their way into the hands of private and corporate collectors
In the late 1990’s he was able to again start down the path of painting creativity and began to donate paintings to the fund raising efforts of the Special Olympics in Seattle and the Concern for Cancer Foundation in Los Angeles. The late Eddie Griffith Fine Art Gallery in Santa Fe New Mexico created collectors for his American West series which are now are available at the prestigious Columbine Gallery in Frisco CO.
G B Ross is a member of the Oil Painters of America, American Impressionist Society and is active in the creation of landscapes, portraits, seascapes and depicting scenes of days gone by.
