Biography
 James Harvey Taylor delights in painting contemporary life in his impressionistic style of loose, freely applied color. Taylor interprets the fleeting light and atmosphere of a scene with a spontaneous brush and bold stroke, always seeking to reveal the underlying truth of the subject at hand and thus free the eye to focus on the essential element, minus any distracting minutiae. Harbor, city coastal and landscape scenes coalesce into a rich yet subtle matrix of color and harmonious form.
James loves the vitality of paint and creates his impastos using full-bodied strokes of color, vibrating with energy, while watercolor pigment fuses like magic on a wet surface and scintillates against white textured paper. Structures and figures are secondary elements, carefully woven into the predominating fabric of sky and landmass, creating a poetic symbiosis of pattern and color nuance.
Always in search of inviting subject matter for his paintings, James has traveled widely over the past decade searching out scenes that spark his imagination and ignite the creative impulse within. He has drawn inspiration from the rugged out-croppings of the Rockies to the Great Lakes. The small fishing villages and harbor towns stretching along both coasts have inspired some of his most exciting works.
