Fantacy & Poetic Art Scottish Style
Kevin
Just want to tell you about James H F Thomson. He is a Scottish Artist and
just happens to be the best I have ever seen.
James' work is multifarious and intricate. The minute detail in his oil
paintings have hidden stories of a nether world all of their own. Concealed
within the flora and fauna, you will find a painting within a painting.
These images bear the need for close examination, look for small groupings
of fairies taking flight, or exchanging a tender kiss. So ethereal and
delicate are these figures, it makes you wish you could be a fairy, too!
Thomson doesn't fit the mould of the Art Community, probably because they
cannot categorise him. But someone of this very individual talent defies
classification. Perhaps a few years from now, "other" artists will be
identified as "Thomson-esque" in their style.
James lives in South Queensferry, Edinburgh.
His online Gallery is at www.jameshfthomson.com
I agreed to do this web site for free for him as he is a technophobic as
well as skint (like most artists).
anyway feel free to browse his gallery. I would welcome some feed back as to
what you think of his paintings.
Cheers

enough is relevent to repost Kevin's rude response
in email.. below.
This is clearly off topic to poetry, and simply a lame
attempt to sell greenish paintings.

Who cares, "shit head". Isn't my problem. A visitor still has to
endure your popups, and my post was a warning to that effect.
(now if you don't like it you can call me a "shit head".. ;-)

If you say so.. I wouldn't but...
The paintings are nice if you like the busy-kind-of-thing
with a (mainly) green motif that would clash with almost any decor.

You must refer to this:
===
For over 30 years he has been inspired by the legend of
True Thomas the Rhymer, the Queen of Elfland's lover.
===
But there ain't no poetry "dick head".. and no poem by poem correlation
to poetry. The words poetry or poem do not appear anywhere on the website.
Your posting (and the website) is simply a blatant advertising program
to sell the oils and prints, (rather crass really) and has so little to do
with poetry, other than the name of the painting in a few cases (I guess).
Don't think this group has a /non-commercial/ charter, but it is for poetry
commenting, and not art sales (my understanding).
Here is the FAQ:

..which contains:
=====
31. WHAT IS CONSIDERED "OFF-TOPIC"?
Poets by their nature seem to enjoy tangents. You'll see a lot of threads beginning with a poem and going off in a sometimes
bizarre, completely unrelated direction. By and large, keep your original posts (not part of an existing thread) limited to your own
poetry, or questions about poetry.

You are most welcome!
BTW: wish you would make up your mind,
am I a shit head or a dick head?
...inquiring assholes want to know.

they discovered my genius. Oh, I said to myself, it's another of those
threads about that /other/ Scottish artist, James H. F. Thomson. I'm
starting to think the H. F. stands for Holy Fucker.

Do you do the greenish fairies paint-by-the-numbers thing too?
Nah, and even if you did you wouldn't post twice in 2 days
the same exact crass commercial "Make An Offer" website promo
as this Kevin fella...
Nah..
But careful.. if you tell the truth about his website he will
call you a dick and/or shit head, he can't decide.
