Cherry Blossoms oil on canvas
Frederick Olmsted’s nineteenth-century New York Central Park serves as James Garland’s studio: Summers, the park is where the artist works and sleeps. For his sustenance, James barters away the paintings. In colder months, carrying his art materials and scant
belongings on his back, James heads for warmer climes. Garland’s oeuvre seems the embodiment of French Impressionism. Yet, in unexpected ways, the work is permeated with astonishing flashes from a gifted, twenty-first- century visionary.
