James Christensen paintings create a rich and strangely familiar world rendered with exquisite skill and detail. This creation was made possible by James' application of his eye for the fantastic to people, landscapes and creatures, both real and imagined. James' aim has always begun with a desire to connect one imagination with another.
The early humorous James Christensen paintings displayed fantasy images that James thought other people will like. To his amazement, he discovered that people liked his imaginative, magical worlds as much as he did. After completing his studies, James worked as a freelance illustrator, continually working on his own painting on his free time.
James Christensen paintings were reflections of James' travels. He was a faculty member of Brigham Young University's art department in Provo, Utah, from 1976 and 1997. As a faculty member, he had the opportunity of travelling with his students to Mexico, Europe and Madrid, Spain.
James Christensen paintings provide a little lift to help people keep going. In a miniscule, they tell people that all things are possible provided they share in James' philosophy that believing is seeing and not the other way around.
James Christensen paintings can be about mythical adventures. One such painting, St. Brendian Naviga describes a 10th century romance about Brendan and a company of monks sailing the Atlantic Ocean towards the Promised Land. St. Brendan has been associated with whales and large fishes. His fame rests in his adventurous stories as described in Brendan's Voyage.
There are James Christensen paintings that are love stories. A prime example of this is Twilight. It is rich in symbols representative of the close of a chapter, the twilight hour of the day, the final phase of the moon, the turning leaves on an autumn tree and the checkerboard road coming to an end. One symbolism from the painting could be interpreted as love coming in many different levels but one that is everlasting has the most important power of all.
