What I love about this painting is that the sun is setting between two horizons, between the ocean and the mountains. I started explaining this to him as though it were a negative, a fault, because it didn't make sense but then I stopped myself because I thought, actually it doesn't matter; because that's the beauty of being a child isn't it. It was a gift to my Dad on his 70th Birthday. I am thrilled by it every time I walk into his kitchen and he loves it too. A friend of mine gave me a picture she drew of James painting rainbows in the sky and that's how I think of him.

From James' painting it is obvious that you showed him a beautiful world—and he embodies and reflects it back to you. It's very special that you have his art to remind you of it.

Excellent art just how I love it, no pretentious or anything unnecessary , straight to the point of his inner world. To paint like a child is the best
