Painting

James was born and educated in England and received art scholarships to attend colleges in London and Manchester. He has exhibited and sold paintings in a variety of mediums (oil, acrylic and water color) in England, Canada and the U.S.

He has been a working artist all his life and says, "I deal in basic principles of art - not only what we do, but why we do them. What tools we can use to achieve the effects we desire, in order to communicate. What gives a painting value and why we paint at all."
