When most of us think of still-life paintings, we don’t often take note of the background. For artist James Waterman, the building of his scene almost becomes a painting in itself. Layers of gold, blues, browns and reds create a space full of texture and depth. In the center of these spaces, Waterman places simple and contemplative vessels, often holding a single flower bud. The focus of the work is not the species he paints, but the quiet mood of a solitary place with sense of delicacy.
