About The Artwork
“Bangkok Gold” Acrylic on Canvas 20H x 24W Framed Created especially for Waco Symphony Orchestra Fundraiser 2019 Theme: Mysteries and Treasures of Eastern Asia Description: Out of a mysterious gold fog emerges an Asian architectural treasure! The low sun struggles to break through the fog creating a golden glow as it sometimes does, providing a simplified but mysterious backdrop to the complex structure. The mystery of what lies beyond will soon be known….or will it? Simple truths are sometimes veiled. Mysteries are veiled by their very nature. But, maybe there is no mystery. Maybe the artist simply wanted you to focus on the structure. The viewer is left to their own imagination to ponder this and explore the beauty of this Eastern Asian architectural gem with magnificently colored roof tiles and adorned with unsurpassed ornate decorative details. These distinctive roof elements called “chofas” are often adorned with glass mosaics and actually represent the Garuda, an important mythical creature in Thailand. http://thaiarchitecture.blogspot.com/2009/04/chofa-and-naga.html The chofas accent the golden fog and, by their mythical nature and shape, add to the mystery of this Thai architectural treasure. View in Full Screen Mode or the Detail Closeups to notice the metallic gold paint used on the chofas, suggesting the glimmer of the glass mosaics on the chofas. #WacoSymphonyOrchestra #WacoSymphonyCouncil #SymphonyOfTheCity #Orchestra #Symphony #Music #ArtistLeeJames #LeeJamesFineArt #LeeJamesFineArtGallery #OriginalAcrylicOnCanvas #PaletteKnife #IPaintWithBlades #Impressionism #Impressionist #CreatingTheIllusionOfRealism #LandscapePainting #TexasArtist #WacoArtist #McGregorArtist #TreasuresAndMysteriesOfEasternAsia #Bangkok #Gold #BangkokGold #Thailand #Asia #EasternAsia #Chofa #Garuda #MythicalCreature #AsianCulture #AsianArchitecturalTreasure #Treasure #Architecture #fog #GlassMosaics #Ornate #RoofTiles #LandscapePainting

For Waco, Texas-based professional artist and instructor Lee James, it’s all about color and texture. Lee’s style is best described as blending aspects of impressionism and realism with a strong emphasis on bold, vivid, even playful use of color in light-filled paintings. His favored medium is acrylic as it can be used like oils or watercolor. Thrilled to embark on each new painting, his ultimate reward is your enjoyment of the “worlds” he creates in each painting. Lee has a lifelong interest in architecture, having owned two National Historic Register Plantations and even designed homes. Structures of some type will almost always be found in his landscapes. A love of coastal, boats, cars and trucks, and animals have also had a profound influence in his work as well as a strong interest in nocturnal scenes. Lee is not a “high noon” painter. Early morning, later in the afternoon, and evening…”these are the times when colors are more intense, subjects are more interesting” and will always be part of his works. With an intense love of color, Lee rarely mixes color on the palette, choosing instead to pickup multiple colors, with a palette knife, and “let it happen” as the paint goes on the canvas. “The result is far more exciting!”
