James Campbell Noble Art

Scottish, 1846-1913

James Campbell Noble was born in Edinburgh, in 1846, and was the cousin of the painter Robert Noble, whose teacher he was. He traveled throughout Europe to paint, where the Netherlands and Italy were particular favorites. Initially, he began with rustic genres such as dark cottages and outside life. Then, when he became a member of ARSA in 1879 and the Royal Scottish Academy in 1892, he abandoned the previous subject for land and seascape scenery and marine paintings of rivers and ports.

Noble painted the scenery on the Clyde, Seine, Tyne, Merwede, Maas (Meus) and the Rhine. For a long part of his life, he actually lived in the Netherlands where his favorite port for painting seemed to have been Dordrecht, Dort for short. There are quite a number of his oil paintings painted in this harbor vicinity, which also seem to have attracted other painters. However, he also painted in places like Gravendeel, Volendam and Zaandam. In the early 1880s, he painted the rocky coastal scenes of Berwickshire whilst he was living in Coldingham.

Noble returned however to the Netherlands in 1900 painting the Dutch waterways again. Towards the end of his life, he lived again in Scotland, where he lived in Dumfries and Galloway and where he is also mentioned in Corstorphine in 1896. His Sunset near Glencaple was exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy in 1913. His portrait was painted by the well-known portrait painter John Pettie (1839–93) and is exhibited in the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. He died on 25 September 1913 in Ledaig, Argyll.

GREEN UMBRELLA Oil on Panel Impressionism 20x 16 Dana Point CA Beach
By Jim Beckner
Located in Houston, TX

The Gray Umbrella series was painted in Dana Point California Jim Beckner just finished a series of beach paintings. All of them can be seen below and available. Framing will be complete be December or cam be shipped without a frame. Denver-based artist Jim Beckner paints like a jazz musician. The blues bop, the oranges swing, and the yellows vibrate. Drawn to the beat of the city, the artist creates expressionistic urban landscapes that show his unabashed love of color. More than anything, his paintings dance with their own energy, and an urban rhythm emanates from his canvases. Beckner was born and raised in Lakewood, CO, a suburb of Denver. Art played an integral role in the family. “My dad was—and still is—a watercolor artist,” he explains. “He does a lot of Colorado landscapes, very detailed, specific, realistic artwork.” Beckner remembers drawing and coloring at every opportunity when he was a child. “Both of my parents recognized that it was something I enjoyed,” he recalls. “I often drew to entertain those around me.” Occasionally, the Beckner family would drive into downtown Denver to eat out at a restaurant. “I always thought the city was an exciting place,” notes the artist. “It had a certain edginess about it.” Those early excursions, and the urban sensibility they fostered in the impressionable youth, would have a profound effect on his burgeoning talent. Encouraged by his parents, Beckner took art classes in junior high school. “I began to realize that I had some skill at drawing,” he says, “that I could see something and then re-create it.” In high school his art teacher was artist Ray Knaub...
