"My intention is to bring beauty to whatever is in front of me to paint." - Jim Cobb

Oklahoma-based artist James Cobb's oil painting on canvas, 'Taos Ditch', reflects his time spent in the area as he has historically worked in both Norman, Oklahoma and New Mexico. His works are characterized by textured strokes of vivid color, and border between a slightly abstract representation and that of a real-life scene that comes from his daily experience with life. For Cobb, the desire to create a work can be found in painting what is in front of himself, but allows himself the liberty to finish the painting the way he likes it to look. Taos Ditch is primarily a cerulean blue composition, surrounded by a matte black frame.
