JAMES TENNISON - Painter

Noted artist James Tennison is particularly drawn to the picturesque beauty of the town of Langley and the surrounding beauty of Whidbey Island. His detailed observation of the Island’s architecture, environs, and wildlife are depicted beautifully in this remarkable artist’s work. 

He is also fascinated by the effect of light, sunlight and shadow, and the colors that can be seen in shadows and reflected light if one looks closely.
