I am a self taught artist working with oils. My goal has always been to
paint like the masters using many layers of oils using the smallest of
brushes so the brush strokes are unseen and the detail is very fine. My
paintings are a telegraphic transmission from somewhere else and I pray
a band of natives do not cut that wire because it is crossing their
beautiful landscape.

This is what has been written about my style in the press:

"James uses the term “carnival-surrealism” to describe his particular
candy-coated absurdities and likens his scenes to “a toy box from another
planet that spilled into [a] landscape.” There’s lightness to his work
that seems to get some of its strength from the frequent use of clouds in
the Dali-esque backgrounds. The clouds and deep, full blue skies set off
the mysterious, empty ground in the landscapes—the paintings could be
anywhere".
