Detail of Work.

This is a
recent work done with oils and chalk. The 11x14 was painted from an old photograph. The lighting was heavily cast in tungsten yellow. The background was cluttered, but the photo had real potential. Sometimes candid snapshots make wonderful art! We offer scanning of photos and nearly any photo can be painted. |
| Each piece is unique and takes on a
personality of it's own. This painting was created from a photograph I took during a family photo session. |
|
 |
Some works take as little as three to four hours and others consume an entire
day, depending on the lighting of the original photo and the number of subjects in the photograph. |
| Photographs are sent
in from all over the United States. Each is individually painted by James using either the background in the photo or a complimentary pastel background that enhances the subject. |
