Artist Profile:
James Reynolds

“Vamanos Muchachos”

James Reynolds is a tall, straightforward, personable individual who translates these obvious characteristics into reflections of oil on canvas.  His command of color, technique, and an understanding of the Southwest allow him to translate the region.  His understanding of light as it is represented from a reflected surface and his ability to create in his works a sense of true atmosphere speak for themselves.
