John Wells James painted this large landscape in the light and airy pastel colors of the season. The subject is rendered in the loose style of the Pennsylvania Impressionists, using bold swirling brushstrokes with thick dabs of paint. The scene is likely in the area around Solebury, Pennsylvania, where James resided. He was a member of the artistic community there and regularly submitted paintings to exhibitions at the famed Phillips Mill.
Despite the fact that James painted part time for most of his life (he was a successful businessman), he enjoyed a fair amount of acclaim. In 1950, when he retired from his wholesale drug company, he had his first one-man show at the Salmagundi Club in New York. Prior to this his work was also exhibited at such prestigious institutions as the Corcoran Gallery of Art, the National Academy of Design, the Carnegie Institute, and the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts.

"Furlong in Spring"
By Joseph Barrett
Located in Lambertville, NJ
Illustrated in "Joseph Barrett, The Prime Years 1970s - 1990s", pg. 21 #024
Jim’s of Lambertville is proud to offer this artwork by:
Joseph Barrett (1936 – )
Joseph Barrett was born in Midland, North Carolina, in 1936 and studied at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston and at the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia. Barrett, now of Lahaska, Pennsylvania, has been painting his entire adult life. His favorite subjects include the landscape surrounding New Hope and many local landmarks often encompassing figures into his compositions. Barrett utilizes a heavy impasto and his palette bears similarities to that of Fern Coppedge and George Sotter. Barrett’s paintings are always found in unique and somewhat charming handmade frames designed by the artist and finished in metal leaf.
A living contemporary of the no longer living “New Hope School” impressionist painters, Joseph Barrett resides outside of New Hope above his old-fashioned antique shop and studio. Entering Barrett’s shop is like taking a step back in time. Inside this cluttered and dusty haven of treasures from the past, is a studio spanning only four by eight feet. This little studio, containing cans of old brushes and hundreds of used paint tubes...
