About the Item

This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Our Blossom Time" by Therese James invites viewers into a serene and nostalgic park scene, where the air is filled with the delicate fragrance of cherry blossoms and the soft whispers of a blossoming relationship between a mother and her child. This pastel-colored painting transports us to a tranquil oasis, where the beauty of nature intertwines with the warmth of familial love. Set in a park adorned with curving cherry blossoms, the scene unfolds with a gentle grace. At the center of the canvas stands a mother with a pram, her child by her side, their bond evident in the tender moments they share. Together, they stand at the edge of a serene lake, its peaceful waters reflecting the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Surrounding the mother and child are lush green grass dotted with daffodils, each bloom a subtle nod to the beauty of motherhood. The blossoming trees mirror the blossoming relationship between the mother and her children, their branches reaching skyward in a delicate dance of growth and renewal. Abstract curved white fencing encircles the scene, adding a touch of whimsy and charm to the tranquil setting. A single bird flits across the canvas, its presence a gentle reminder of the fleeting beauty of the moment. "Our Blossom Time" exudes a sense of peace and nostalgia, inviting viewers to linger and savor the quiet beauty of the scene. Each brushstroke captures the essence of a cherished memory, evoking a sense of warmth and tenderness that resonates deeply with the viewer. Whether admired in person or online, "Our Blossom Time" promises to transport viewers to a place of tranquility and joy, where the bonds of love and family are celebrated in every delicate petal and gentle breeze. 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. Displayed at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea or available for sale online, "Our Blossom Time" invites viewers to immerse themselves in a world of serenity and grace, where every moment is cherished and every memory is treasured. 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

Autumn in Provence, Oil Painting
By Lisa Elley
Located in San Francisco, CA

Artist Comments
Inspired by the lush vineyards of France in the fall, artist Lisa Elley paints an impression of the scene. Light caresses the quaint village during the breathtaking summer. The vineyard flourishes in the foreground, creating a dramatic and colorful effect. She achieves a rich, buttery texture through thick impasto application.


About the Artist
Working almost exclusively with a palette knife, Lisa Elley maneuvers her artistic blade with an uncanny fluidity. Why paint only with the knife? She says, "when I paint with a brush, which I do occasionally, I tend to focus on the detail. With a palette knife I can't focus on the detail too much, so my paintings are looser, and more gestural, with bigger sweeps and strokes." This technique is called wet-on-wet. And it seems to be quite popular, as she has been bestowed the title "Knife Queen" by her facebook fans. Fun fact: Lisa's high school art teacher told her to study harder at math, as a career in art was "impossible."
