Surrealism and the Landscape by James McCarthy

Surrealism and the Landscape by James McCarthy

Posted by James McCarthy on 11/22/2009
 Featured by Launchpad
Surrealism and the Landscape is my theme. I like to paint spontaneous biomorphic images but the landscape, with its weather, time of day and most importantly, seasons, matter to me as well. My work is very seasonal and I have always been especially fascinated with snow.

My theme is Surrealism and the Landscape. I lke to create biomorphic images but the landscape, with seasons, time of day and an over all mood is something I like to infuse into some of my paintings as well. My work is hand-done. Some are drawings but most of them are oil on canvas.

    		 James McCarthy: Thank you, I really appreciate that. I get comments from people on other art sites but I believe yours is only the second comment that I've received in the two years that I've had work posted on this site.
    I'm going to have to remove 11 of these images soon though because I'm signing a contract with Phase5 publishing to have them published in their fantasy/sci-fi magazine.
    I will be replacing them with 11 other images though.
