James Stewart
 James
H. Stewart, a psychologist,
university professor, and artist has allowed his psychological training to
serve as inspiration for his art. He
is an insightful artist, painting with strokes that take the eye beyond the
obvious to the expanded imagination. Stewart began painting in his teens,
first with pastels while in elementary school during the 1950's. He received
training from Daniel E. Greene, one of America's leading portrait painters
and one of the foremost pastel artists in the United States. Stewart's first
oil painting was produced while serving in the U.S. Army during the late
1960's. He has also been influenced by other notable artists such as Nina
Lovelace, Michael McBride, Ted Jones, Greg Ridley, and Shirley Pharris, an
accomplished student of Daniel E. Greene. His paintings depict "old
home scenes" from his childhood and his dreams. Stewart lives and
paints in the serenity of his baby farm near Nashville, Tennessee.
