Jim took early retirement
from his career as an art teacher in 1986, and has devoted himself since
to painting in watercolours. During this time he has exhibited extensively
as well as having a number of paintings in private collections. He has had one-man exhibitions at The Williamson Gallery, Lancaster, The Grundy Art Gallery, Blackpool and The Dearden Gallery, Ossett. He was asked to participate in an Open Focus Exhibition at the Haworth Gallery, Accrington, and has twice been a prize winner at the British Watercolour Society Show, Ilkley.
