“Adorned with Autumn” beautifully blends the qualities of an abstract painting with the qualities of a well-executed landscape. This small but powerful work depicts a river flowing through the New Mexico landscape, surrounded by the vibrant oranges of fall. The changing foliage creates a rich tapestry of color, echoing the region's traditions, stories, and daily life. The river, a lifeline that has shaped the land for centuries, serves as a metaphor for life’s journey and the passage of time.

James’s contemporary approach, incorporating abstract techniques with crayon, spray paint, and oil, breathes new life into this timeless subject. The interplay of light across the autumn landscape adds depth, reflecting the season of change and introspection. Perfect for a cozy corner, this painting brings the warmth and color of the fall season into any space, offering a modern take on the natural beauty of New Mexico’s rivers and their significance.
