Dave | Limited Edition Canvas | Paul James

‘Dave’ is such a character. He looks like he’s giving you an ounce of his attention and then he’s off to eat your washing that’s out drying or worse still your favourite flowers in the garden. But that’s what we love him for – he may have his head in the clouds but he’s so sweet and funny.

Described as ‘an example of fresh perspectives in art in the 21st century’ this image was selected and appeared on the front cover of ‘Artists & Illustrators’ magazine…

The Head in the Clouds Collection is renowned for the vibrancy and joy it portrays. It is a concept Paul created following his landscapes and Classic collection. He decided to focus on the individual animals he was encountering along the English canals, when traveling on his boat ‘Fools Paradise?’ in search for creativity and inspiration for his artworks. Since, the collection has expanded to even more animals that he has seen around his home or indeed in other countries he visited…He has seen a few characters on his travels and wanted to capture their charisma onto canvas. Each animal in the Head in the Clouds collection has its own personality but they all have one common denominator – they are all bright, colourful, joyful and they will definitely make you smile every time you look at them.

As for the detail, Paul James is renowned for his skill and craftsmanship in depicting the finest detail of each subject and texture. So if you look closely, it almost looks like you can stroke this lovely character…
