About the Item

Moonlit tonal seascape with sailboat, calm waters, and sepia elegance - Vintage Oil by British Artist, David James. Dramatic skies and beautiful reflections are a feature of this landscape and seascape artist. Art measures 10 x 7 inches Frame measures 13 x 10 inches Title: Moonlit Stillness Artist: David James (Signed) Medium: Oil on board Style: Tonalist Seascape Period: Mid to Late 20th Century Frame: Original period-style frame in gold and olive green fabric inset Description: A luminous and atmospheric oil painting by David James, capturing the serene majesty of moonlight on tranquil waters. Executed in a rich, monochromatic sepia palette, this piece exudes timeless elegance and tonal harmony. A solitary fishing vessel rests in the foreground, gently anchored in reflective shallows, while distant sails and vertical timber posts echo a rhythm of balance and solitude. The soft diffusion of light across the clouds and water evokes a meditative calm, making this an ideal statement piece for both traditional and contemporary interiors. A work of understated beauty and poetic stillness, this painting invites the viewer into a quietly sublime maritime world. David James was born in London in 1944 and moved to Outer London in the fifties. Educated at Hampton School, David James howed an early aptitude for art and won school and national prizes and competitions. James attended Twickenham College of Art from 1962 to 1966 gaining an Intermediate Diploma in Arts and Crafts. With a speciality in wood engraving, three editions of James' prints were sold in 1964. He obtained a National Diploma in Art and Design in 1966. David James began exhibiting at open-air shows in 1963 whilst still at Art School and was immediately successful. Original paintings by David James attracted the attention of a leading Fine Art publisher; a reproduction published in 1969 sold well, entitled "Slow Water" - this was published by Rosenstiels. Nowadays, much of the work by David James is sold abroad; there are examples of James paintings in all European countries and North America, South America, China, Russia, Japan, India, New Zealand, Australia, the Middle East and Greenland. David currently lives in Sussex on the coast, within reach of the South Downs. He is married to an artist and has three children. Much of the inspiration for the work executed by James is drawn from the Lake District, Devon and Cornwall, and the Welsh Countryside. David has exhibited his works at the Royal Academy and in leading provincial galleries. A wide range of subjects painted by David is available including landscape, marine and still life paintings.
