Preparing to Sail
C. Rex James
Oil on canvas on board
Image size: 17 1/4 x 21 1/2 inches ( 54.5 x 43.5 cm)
Original frame
This painting by James captures a serene scene of several yellow sailed boats as they are prepared for a race. While the water reflects the boat's vibrant colours, in the foreground, an array of colourful flowers sets the viewer on a cliff side edge, looking down on the scene. The distant shoreline, complete with rolling hills and a clear, sunny sky, evokes the serene stillness of the summery Plymouth day traditional to James work.
C. Rex James
James, an artist from Plymouth, captivates viewers with his expressive and colourful works. His primary subjects were nautical scenes and Dartmoor landscapes, which he rendered with a keen eye for detail and a vibrant palette. Born in the mid-20th century, James developed a deep connection with the natural beauty of his surroundings, evident in his art. His paintings often depict the rugged coastlines, tranquil waters, and rolling hills of the Plymouth area, offering viewers a glimpse into the serene and picturesque settings he so cherished. James' work is noted for its bold use of colour and meticulous composition, reflecting both his technical skill and his passion for the landscapes he portrayed.
