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 humorous 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 were reflections of James' travels. He was a faculty member of Brigham Young University's art department in Provo, Utah, from 1976 and 1997. As a faculty member, he had the opportunity of travelling with his students to Mexico, Europe and Madrid, Spain.

James Christensen paintings provide a little lift to help people keep going. In a miniscule, they tell people that all things are possible provided they share in James' philosophy that believing is seeing and not the other way around.

Your Place or Mine, one among the many James Christensen paintings, picture a fellow who has been fishing for a good line for quite a long time. He has finally found one and is determined to make use of it. He is definitely not an average medieval of the road lover.

Dreams are part and parcel of James Christensen paintings. In Sleeper Lost in Dreams, wings are depicted as representative of a release of creative forces, giving out an ability to understand and transcend beyond the human condition. This particular artwork has the power to both provoke and inspire its viewers.
