Hi James, a brief note to let you know how much I enjoy your beautiful painting of the lounge room scene which I bought some months ago. It hangs in a pride of place in the house and every time I look at it I cannot help but smile. You have executed it beautifully. Kind Regards , David

I commissioned Jim to do a painting for me of a beautiful coastline in Italy. When finished I was so happy, it looked like a photograph, it was perfection. I have seen a lot of his work and could not recommend his work highly enough. Cheers Barry

I now have 24 paintings done by James over the years. Three paintings are of my beloved pets.  All beautifully depicted and so well executed  that my friends ask for James to do portraiture for them too.   Several paintings depict very British scenery and some depict Venice capturing the tranquillity of the canals and other Venetian paintings display  the glorious confection  of architecture rising up from the water. James’ ability with shading and other techniques that he has developed over the years  never cease to delight me.   Keep up the good work James and good luck with your next exhibition.

A few words about a talented local artist James McCutcheon.

James genre is water colour and covers a wide scope of subjects from scenic to portrait of people and animals and still life.

Our first painting by James was of a beautiful village in England one which we had visited and has since increased to seven, five of which hang on what we refer to as our McCutcheon wall. The remaining two are particularly special and have their own places,the first of a steam locomotive at a station again in England which I commissioned as a gift for my husband who is a model railway fanatic whilst the second (which I consider to be the finest) is of my son on a hiking trip in Patagonia with one of the sled pulling huskies that was remarkably like our own husky. The absolute realism in the painting is brilliant particularly the hair and the emotion portrayed between the two is of particular essence. In all truely outstanding example of James’ talent.

Of all those that I know who commissioned his work or purchased pieces they saw and had to have they believe James McCutcheon to be a name that will be looked upon with pleasure in the art world.
