James Somerville Lindsay

James was born in Perthshire in 1954, grew up in Lanark & studied at Glasgow School of Art under the tutelage of the late John Cunningham. After 26 very successful years in the Advertising & design industry, in 2009 he decided to seek a more personal form of self expression and fulfillment & now paints full time.
At every opportunity, he endeavours to capture his chosen subject 'plein air', be it in the wonderful light of Southern France, the vibrant colour of the Italian Riviera or a stunning coastline or city square at home here in Scotland. In France or Italy he works out of an old Campervan affectionately nicknamed Claude (after Monet, his favourite artist).
