James Harvey Taylor

James Harvey Taylor Biography:
Recognized by his unique style of richly applied paint, James interprets the landscape with a spontaneous brush always seeking to reveal the underlying essence of the subject. His focus is on the essential elements in landscape, selectively eliminating distracting minutiae. This spontaneous approach creates a heightened sense of urgency and vitality that enlivens sky, clouds, and other elements of the scene and generates a sense of energy and animation. James feels his paintings are successful when they exude energy and take on a discernable life force of their own. His watercolors are also painted with full bodied passages of vibrant color that fuse on dampened textured surface. James paints the broad landscape with structures, animals, and figures as secondary elements carefully woven into the predominating fabric of sky and landmass.  >>click here for more
