Here are some of James Frederick’s oil paintings. Again, I had to have the camera at an angle to take the photo so the flash didn’t interrupt the painting.

My son-in-law, John, was the model for this painting. John was a teenager and he and his father, artist, James Frederick, were out in the East Texas woods.

The painting below is the front porch of his uncle’s place as James remembered it. Many years passed from the time his mind took the snapshot and he painted the picture, but it shows how the artist’s mind works.
