Jim lives in Henley in Arden and has exhibited in open shows and local galleries. Semi retired from teaching in Warwickshire 4 years ago, Jim started going to art classes to learn the basics, having never drawn or painted before.

He works mainly in acrylics and has painted a wide range of subject matter from landscapes to townscapes as well as a number of dog portrait commissions.

Whether painting landscapes or animals Jim attempts to capture the true likeness of his chosen subject matter.
