That touch of enchantment is what makes a great painting a James Christensen. “As a fantasy artist,” he says,
“I am fortunate to have such a broad range of icons to play with: Puffy Guys, mechanical things, beautiful
women and floating fish. I can find a beautiful place in nature and paint it like a landscape painter but I
get to keep going, to magic it up a bit.

“The Guardian in the Woods is a Mother Nature-type guy (I think the two may have been an item at one time).
He is the strong, silent type, which is why you may not have heard of him. He watches over the woods and
all that lives there. Like Gandalf, we aren’t really sure if he’s mortal or not. He’s looks like a hermit and
smells like one, too.

“The inclusion of the Guardian in this scene sends it into the realm of make believe. On a hike I found a white
tree that had fallen down. Flowers that looked like bleached crepe paper were growing in the bushes around
the trunk. ‘What a great painting this would make,’ I thought. I just had to figure out what to add and wait
long enough for the right character to appear. Now he’s visible, but for just a moment, because with a
quick tip of his hat he disappears again like Santa Claus.”

The Guardian in the Woods is a delicious landscape with Christensen magic. You can choose the 30" x 14"
Fine Art Giclèe Canvas and frame it with nothing coming between you and this great piece of art. Or,
you can frame the 27" x 12 1/2" Fine Art Giclèe Paper under glass. Either way, these rich James
Christensen fine art editions are truly fantastic works of art.
