I love work that is fresh and different. I think that describes Chelsea James work perfectly! Interesting paintings of everyday things. I love these! These are scenes that are familiar to many of us. I think the color variations are fabulous. It’s not just a blue wall, look at all those colors. Chelsea paints with just the right amount of detail.

Love this palette! Why do old sinks suddenly interest me so much? The detail is there in more abstract shapes and its wonderful! Chelsea has been in some pretty spectacular shows… what an honor… wow! See details on her blog!

Chelsea’s bio, from her website:

“Painting is a study of our existence, spirit, and environment, derived from experiences in life. I choose objects that evoke childhood memories, create situations of atmospheric mystery, and bring visual interest through interaction. I’m intrigued by subtle shifts in value and color; yet seek a personal interpretation of the objects rather than a replication. Personality is revealed through the process of painting. Abstract remnants from my process remain visible in the final product. The hand must obey the spirit. “
