Doing a little clean up in the studio this afternoon. Going through some piles I found this fun little doodle and thought hey this is just right for Friday. TGIF y'all. Spread the love today! ❤️ #namaste #darjames #hearts #love #tgif
Circles, circles...I love you so. New batch of Tidepool Minis WIP. This is their baby stage, before details and resin. This is all about getting the right pile of colors!!

Have a great Tuesday. 🙏❤️#contemporaryart #darjames #interiordesign #circles #circleart #kandinsky #inspired #maybemaybenot #ilovecircles #namaste
Get your purple on! Happy Monday...dots dots dots. Dotty Botanical Minis. 6x6" acrylic on cradled board. Available. #contemporaryart #darjames #interiordesign #flowerart #botanical #galleryart #miniatureart
"Flowering Forth," 24x36" acrylic on canvas. Something you might not know is that I always finish all four sides of my gallery wrapped canvas. I treat each side as a part of the whole, bringing the colors and motifs to every viewing inch. If it is going to go over your bed, I will add an inspiration, prayer or intention that can be read in repose. I find joy in creating these special details. 💙 Available. #contemporaryart #darjames #interiordesign #flowerart #botanical #trees #acrylicpainting #decorative #details #galleryart #namaste
A Garden. Did you know that my circle paintings were inspired by the way that stones look through water? 36x72" acrylic on canvas. It's a show stopper. Available. #contemporaryart #darjames #interiordesign #circles #abstractart #coloredstones #paintedstones

Summer cold got me feeling all under the weather but I made this sweet little beauty today. She is in the softest hues...
