James Crandall Biography
James Crandall has had a long career as a concept illustrator in the advertising and motion-picture industry, but in recent years has shifted his attention to traditional easel painting. At home in northern California and on travels in the southwest, he finds subject matter in everyday life, and is always looking for an intriguing play of light, or the un-staged gestures of people at work or at play. An ongoing series of paintings depicts life in his maternal grandfather's hometown of Lucca in northern Tuscany.
