I started painting at 12 years old from watching William Alexander on PBS. I had no idea what I was doing. Last year (2011), I picked up the brush again after years of doing other things and it was magic. Everything flowed and worked! 15 paintings later I have more ideas then ever and am so joyous to learn more about art and what the possibilities are in the world of art today., I have met some amazing people. I have done my first art show and it was an amazing experience. My art, while I favor classic art, tends to start there and end up somewhere else. I believe that's exactly where it should go. 
I use only natural oil paint or high level acrylic and 100% pure cotton canvas. My original paintings may be available, More pictures are available of each work upon request, email me at jim@jameskrusefineart.com
