However, he creates his most refined and largest paintings in the studio from his plein air references. He hikes or backpacks several hundred miles a year, looking for unique perspectives and a deeper connection with nature. He works to create paintings that not only visually portray a scene but also convey the emotions of the actual experience.

He began using pastels at age 8 and his father's oils at 10. Today he is best known for his oil paintings interpreting western National Parks. A strong background in natural sciences (degrees in biology, chemistry, and geology, and grad work for M.S. in Environmental Ed) helps James understand his natural subjects as well as to carry on the tradition of 19th-century artists whose images helped to establish the first national parks. He also lends his art background to his work as a summer seasonal Yosemite ranger\/naturalist as he has for the past 25 Summers. His primary objective in painting is to help inspire love and protection of our national parks and the environment as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJames prefers to paint direct from life and often works up to about 30x40 en plein air.
