James Christensen Paintings

By Darren Hartley


James Christensen paintings are inspired by the world's myths, fables and tales of imagination. They add up to more than beautiful, sometimes curious looking, works of art. They look at the world as a classroom. This stems from the fact that James taught art professionally for over 20 years.

The early James Christensen paintings displayed fantasy images that James thought other people will like. To his amazement, he discovered that people liked his imaginative, magical worlds as much as he did. After completing his studies, James worked as a freelance illustrator, continually working on his own painting on his free time.

James Christensen paintings are enchanting works of art, woven from dreams, hopes, fears and humor, into a fabric of everyday life. They are meant to excite the imagination and invite the viewer to become an active participant in the creative process instead of just being a bystander.

James Christensen paintings convey either a message, an inspiration or a simple laugh. James has always believed that teaching people to use their imagination helps in finding solutions to soothe the myriad stresses of everyday life.

James Christensen paintings include Waiting for the Tide. In it is featured a man standing on the shore and demanding for the tide to come in. Instead of demanding, he decides to sit back, relax, smell the seaweed and enjoy life as it is. He figures it's nice being just out so he enjoys his time by sipping a cup of tea with shots of fortitude.

One of the James Christensen paintings comes with a free booklet explaining all of 72 superstitions. Entitled Superstitions, it divulges that life is a precarious business, so much so that ancient forebears became keen to stack the cosmic deck. What hurt can wishing upon a falling star, bewaring of the black cat or picking up a lucky penny bring?
