G Harvey, who was once known as Gerald, is a native of the great state of Texas. From early childhood on, it was apparent to him that he had a passion and a great love for art.

So, as a child he did many types of sketches and drawings and won over the hearts of everyone who saw them. It was clear from the beginning that he was destined to be a wonderful artist.

G Harvey went on to graduate from and become an Alumni of North Texas State University where he majored in Industrial art. He then began working for the University of Texas.

However, he found that he was involved in an occupation that was taking up most of his spare time, and it left him little time to pursue his first love which was art and, by now, particularly painting. So in 1963, with a lot of prayers being sent out, he made the life altering decision to give up his career and become a full time artist. It was then that he gave up his name and replaced it with the initial G.

He found himself at center stage of his first art exhibition just two years after he became an artist by trade. He won the New Master’s Award.

G Harvey found that he had some rather famous followers of his artwork, including Lyndon B. Johnson and John Connally. They were his admirers from the very beginning.

His critical acclaim did not stop there, however. He went on to woo the entire country and the world with his depictions of the good ole days that had passed us by, including the early western front in the United States. He also enjoyed painting landscapes, cityscapes, and Civil War portraits.

G Harvey has enjoyed a career that has spanned over fifty years. He is still creating his wonderful artwork from his home in Fredericksburg, Texas where he and his wife, Pat, reside.

Some of his more notable works include:

– “Drifting through the Oil Patch,” which is a picture of cowboys who worked in the oil fields making their way home

– “Cowhands of the West,” which shows people getting ready to go to work

– “Bunkhouse Lights,” that shows cowboys beginning their daily routine

– “Independent Oilman”

– “Trading at the General Store”

– “Early Downtown Houston”

– “20th Century Ranching”

– “Supplies for the Mission”

This is a small sampling of some of the works that G Harvey has done over the years. All of these paintings and drawings take you back to another place and time when life was easier. This is perhaps why his work is so beloved by those who adore it.

During his career which is still ongoing, he has won the hearts of the famous such as Presidents and Governors and the not so famous as well. He captivates his audiences with his ability to depict the past in a way that would make one think that he was actually there and lived through it in order to be able to so accurately portray it on canvas today.
