"A Grand Day Out" by Therese James beautifully captures the vibrant energy of a bustling pier scene, offering viewers a delightful glimpse into a day brimming with excitement and leisure. This painting serves as a portal to the seaside, where the air resonates with laughter and carries the invigorating scent of saltwater.
The pier gracefully curves into the sparkling ocean, its pristine white planks contrasting harmoniously with the azure tones of the sea and sky. Families leisurely stroll along the boardwalk, their faces adorned with smiles as they bask in the warmth of the sun and the joy of the moment.
Amidst the lively atmosphere, colorful boats bob gently on the water, interspersed with playful fish and buoy markers, enhancing the dynamic essence of the scene. Fishermen cast their lines from the pier, their movements contributing to the animated ambiance. Above, seagulls soar freely across the vast expanse of the soft blue sky, their cries adding to the liveliness below.
Throughout the painting, vibrant hues abound, infusing the composition with a palpable sense of vitality and warmth. Each brushstroke adeptly captures the dynamic movement of the bustling pier, from the bustling crowds to the playful splashes of water.
The whimsical, childlike style of the painting adds to its charm, evoking a nostalgic sense of carefree days spent by the sea. Whether admired in person or online, "A Grand Day Out" beckons viewers to immerse themselves in the timeless magic of a seaside adventure.
Signed by the artist, this captivating artwork is unframed and painted around the corners on deep edge canvases, allowing the vibrant scene to extend beyond traditional boundaries. Whether displayed in a coastal cottage or a city apartment, "A Grand Day Out" promises to infuse any space with the charm and joy of seaside life.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Therese James has been immersed in the world of painting and exhibition since 1993, carving her path as a self-taught artist guided solely by instinct and intuition. Developing a distinctive style characterized by representative characters inhabiting her vibrant canvases, Therese aligns herself with the Naive School, embracing a philosophy of boundless creativity and unfettered expression. For Therese, each painting is a voyage of discovery, an organic evolution of emotions and ideas. Drawing inspiration from the landscapes and literature of her native Wales and the West Country, she imbues her work with a sense of nostalgia and longing, encapsulated by the Welsh concept of ‘Hiraeth’—a profound yearning for home. Selected as ‘Welsh Artist of the Year’ and invited to exhibit at prestigious venues such as ‘The Royal Welsh Show’ and ‘The Eisteddfod’, Therese’s art has garnered recognition both nationally and internationally. Her work can be found in galleries across the UK, as well as in collections spanning America, New Zealand, and Hong Kong. At Signet Contemporary Art Gallery, Therese’s paintings are sourced directly from her studio, ensuring each piece retains its unique authenticity and charm. Embodying the timeless tradition of naive style painting, Therese’s art captivates viewers with its whimsical charm and evocative storytelling. For those drawn to the allure of naive style painting, Therese’s portfolio promises a journey into a world of imagination and wonder. Explore her enchanting creations online or visit Signet Contemporary Art Gallery to experience the magic first-hand.
“Over the many years I have worked, my style has slowly and naturally evolved and through continuously working and experimenting it has become an extension of who I am. I work the paint with my hands until I get to the finer details, I get an instinctive feel for when the consistency is just right and then I go with it. I never know how I am going to get there – I only know I have to and that when the journey is complete, I will know. Each one is a roller coaster of emotions, a pilgrimage to places once visited in my mind and heart. The Welsh word ‘Hiraeth’ is what best describes it for me – it is a deep longing for home, that home is inside me, trying to find this place and transform it into something tangible is what continuously fires me to keep painting. It is these places and paintings that make the connections between Therese’s audience and her paintings.” – Therese James

Therese James
We are pleased to sell works on behalf of Therese James. Therese is a full time artist painting and exhibiting since 1993. As a member of the Naive School she works from a compulsion to recreate what she feels and sees. As a self taught naive she relies purely on an instinctive approach to her art and has developed her own style with expressive characters who inhabit the world of her paintings. Therese gets much of her inspiration from the places and literature of her native Wales and the West Country of England. She says she paints the way she paints because she doesn’t know “the rules” and her paintings are a journey of discovery. More recently she has been inspired to use her painterly skills to create wild and untamed responses to nature, creating semi abstracted, almost primal, sea and landscapes reflecting the raw untrained, instinctive way in which she works. Therese is very well collected with her works in collections in N. America, Europe, Australasia and Asia.
