Finding the right artwork for a space can be a challenge—especially when the goal is to bring in something that feels both timeless and current. “Beside the Trees That Remember” offers that quiet balance. Snow-capped peaks rise above golden autumn trees, with a red barn tucked gently among them—anchoring the scene in warmth and strength. Though modest in size, the painting brings a sense of presence to any room.

James uses crayon and spray paint to introduce a contemporary edge to this familiar landscape, blending tradition with bold, modern mark-making. The result is a piece that feels both rooted and nostalgic—like the scent of woodsmoke on an autumn breeze. It’s a moment of stillness and reflection, one you can return to again and again.
