I am the proud owner of five Kiselica originals, the "View of Villa Borghese", "The Berkely", "Castle Gondolpho", "Bette Davis" and "Jean Harlow".  I am in awe of James' work and was just taken in by the realism.  His way with light, reflection, shadows, and perspective are incredible.  When you look at the fine details of James' paintings, you'll see a less than perfect reality, as with browning foliage, fallen petals and blemishes on objects that you see in real life. Those are the kinds of details other artists forget... in creating a 'picture-perfect' image many forget that life and nature aren't so perfect.  I appreciate that realism and the true beauty James puts into all of his works.

Kudos to you and your web master!!! The site looks great.  I really liked your bio!  The number of "sold" pieces is very impressive as are the number of pieces available in print form.  Each painting makes  you feel as if you are standing right there, smelling the sweetness of the breeze, and listening to the sound of the ocean or the brush of the palms.  I'm so happy for you!!!  Best of luck with the site, but you won't need luck because your art work sells itself.

Beautiful and impressive site.....but....the work and the artist are far more impressive.  A truly gifted individual.

Hi Jim - Fabulous website!  Jimmy just told me about it last night.  I just came back from Key West yesterday - spent quick 5 days to get away from it all.  Your artwork is AMAZING as always!  Have a Merry Christmas and best wishes for an incredible 2002.  I can't wait to see you soon!  Love always, Bruce & Jimmy.

Hello James - Was really glad to see your work at Mainsail -- I was inspired not only by the quantity displayed, but also the quality and consistency of your interpretation of the architectural elements in your life. (I was the blondish-red guy who dropped by both days -- a true art ho.) Couldn't buy anything this trip, but I have you on file for when things are more stable for either purchases or perhaps a commission.  Hope you guys had a good weekend, and best wishes on all future endeavors!  Best, Greg Vineyard, LA

Wow! What a site! It was really great having you and Joe for dinner companions at Peter's birthday dinner Sunday.  Sorry we couldn't talk on a more personal level, but hope to get to know you guys better.  We have an interior design business and are sometimes on the lookout for mural work and other artistic mediums.  I enjoyed reading your bio and viewing your beautiful work.  Hopefully we can see it in person in the near future.  Hope you both have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we look forward to seeing you again soon.  Best wishes, Ron & Bill

We are good friends of Sean Ensign & Sam Novak.  They told me about your work and I have

been admiring it.  Very nice, and the best of luck to you.  I am beginning a new career

as a sculptor.  Hope we get to meet you sometime...   Grant
