Meet James


James Geddes I have so many things to be thankful for... I live in a beautiful place along the water of a beautiful little lake in the gorgeous state of Washington. The wildlife here is incredible, the summer evenings on the lake are postcard perfect. I enjoy my art, whether it is photography, painting or sketching. It's wonderful to have such a diverse selection of activities in my daily life. I also enjoy the company of my soul mate and wife of 40 years, Nancy.... who is definitely the "better" half! Pastels and painting have become a rich part of my life now. I love to paint and this gives me the opportunity for trips into the wonderful mountains, tide areas and farmlands that surround our home.
