Jim tries to stay true to his roots of political and social commentary. However, since moving to the Mendocino Coast, he has found it impossible to live in this beautiful place without trying to say something about that artistically as well.
Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I just make stuff up. It really is more fun that way. At least for me it is.
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I go into a painting with a fully formed idea and execute it as imagined. Done. Most of the time, the idea changes, develops, grows out of the process. There is a dialogue between paint and painter. A give and take that often results in as much surprise as intention.
Surprise is a great motivator for painting this way. But sometimes I just walk in the studio, face the blank space, no ideas, no intentions or expectations and well, just make stuff up. Don’t tell, okay?
