Winner, Master Class, ArtMuse Contest, October 2016:
"In my opinion this is a special painting that once seen will not be easily forgotten. A most worthy winner, this work appears at first glance to be highly detailed and yet is made up of the most beautiful abstract passages of shape and colour. You can take any section of this painting to make a terrific painting in it’s own right. Great drama is provided by the deep dark shadows which set off the fruit and vegetable crates with their highlighted edges and the glimpses of that mysterious enticing interior. The thoughtful pose of the figure provides narrative, and his head is given further emphasis by the placing of that bright light while the position of his arms connects him to the items on display and help to lead our eye around the painting. There is a softness and dream like quality to the finish due to James application of the paint and a wonderful brevity to the scraped back and softened edges." -- Haidee-Jo Summers
