Emily James - Art Of Seascapes And Landscapes

The art world is very competitive but once a reputation is achieved, the artist can go from strength to strength. Emily James is a very successful artist, her ability to be versatile being a large factor. She is also able to communicate well and is able to give the client exactly what is required when it comes to commissions. Specializing in landscapes, seascapes, abstracts and botanical works, she paints in acrylics and oils in different styles.

Florida has been an inspiration to the painter as she was raised there and continues to work there from her own studio. She graduated from Florida State University as an art major, having displayed her artistic talents from a young age. She exhibits extensively around the world and produces one-woman retrospectives. Emily James has been given many awards for her art over the years and operates a successful business, selling prints and originals to many countries.

Clients like the personal service that she gives to them and she will re-create a special memory of a favorite haunt or will paint something to complement the interior of their home. Some scenes are places that the artist has visited on vacation that she wants to capture for others to share. In addition to private collectors, the corporate world has discovered the artist and her work can be found in the lobbies and offices of many high profile companies and commercial establishments. These include the Coca Cola headquarters in Atlanta and several banks, hotels and hospitals.

The paintings are noted for their sense of reality, done with soft color and the Emily James style. The landscapes include the Florida Everglades, Venetian canals, French vineyards and the rolling hills of Tuscany. She is fond of flaura and fauna and has captured the delicacy of orchids and water lilies in a pond. Different weather conditions are evoked in red sunsets, misty dawns and Mediterranean sunshine. Emily James often paints coastal scenes of boats tied up in a harbor, lighthouses and the ocean lapping onto the beach.

Other pictures include a range of golf courses. These have memories for the people who have played there or who have watched great tournaments on the greens. These paintings are treated with the same light touch as other landscapes. Figurative artists don't usually do abstract pictures too but Emily James also offers this option. Her abstracts are full of vivid color, inspired by the colorful scenery of the places she has seen and painted.
