Royal Processional by James C. Christensen You are witness to something few humans ever see. The sweet smell of incense carried on the breeze has awoken you from your rest in the woods and you capture a glimpse of the king and queen of the faeries passing by. "This is not the May Day parade or a Coronation," James C. Christensen explains. "Simply, this is The Royal Processional - just your regular, everyday king and queen of the Faeries entourage." Inspired by the grand processions of history, fiction and movies, Christensen provides a glimpse of the faerie world by fashioning an eclectic parade of fantasy forest denizens. "The king in the armor is Oberon and the queen is Tatiana," says Christensen. "They are the rulers of the Faeries. Other fascinating creatures waiting to be discovered are their laughing faeries-in-waiting, their old prime minister with the butterfly banner, the young wizard-in-training with his nose in a book, and the incense bearers to alert - by smell - the other forest creatures." Join The Royal Processional and set yourself apart from mere mortals. The Royal Processional, MASTERWORK CANVAS

With Once Upon a Time, James Christensen brings life to the rich and delightful creatures who filled his imagination as a child. The wise, magical storyteller tells his astonishing fables to the wondrous characters who usually populate those fables. "I've made up characters, but I've also drawn some of them from art and literature," explains James. "The Lord of the Rings reminds us that adults are interested in fantasy too." And James pays tribute to Ian Ballantine, the publisher who popularized The Lord of the Rigs in the United State by reklesaing it in paperback. "He is the keybearer on the right. In a sense, he brought me this talisman. Giclee Canvas: 47" x 33" h. Edition size of 300 s/n. SOLD OUT AT PUBLISHER - $6,550 |

The fact that the center panel is missing is rich with allegory as well. According to Christensen the missing center panel depicted not only Enoch and Jehovah, but the City of Enoch as well. Enoch was regarded by God to be so imbued with the Holy Spirit that he was "translated" or "taken from the earth" rather than suffer physical death. "No one is certain what happened to the missing center panel of The Enoch Altarpiece, but hope is," says Christensen, with a smile, "it will one day return." The Enoch Altarpiece is a framed, two piece canvas print set. The artisan who created the frames for the original paintings was commissioned by Christensen to create two prototypes for this limited edition print set. The elegant resin-molded frames are distressed and hand-brushed with gold to recreate the look of 15th century art treasures. A Greenwich Workshop Frame Giclee Canvas Set: Each panel: 14 1/2"w x 24"h. 250 s/n. Sold as a set only. Sold out as Publisher! $1,695.00 |

In the fantastic world of James Christensen, a "poofy guy" is recognizable by the inordinate layers of clothing he wears, symbolizing a touch of self-importance as well as the accumulated baggage of a lifetime. This light and airy piece just may suggest marriage, as James asks us to consider the luck we "poofy guys" have in being cared for by a responsible woman. "Thanks heavens guys like us have some one holding on to us, James said, "otherwise, we'd just spin off in to the jet stream and pop!"

Twilight by James C. Christensen "This painting is a love story," says James Christensen. "Love on many different levels, but most importantly, the power of that which is everlasting. It is rich in symbols that suggest the close of a chapter; the twilight hour of day, the final phase of the moon, the turning leaves on an autumn tree and the checkerboard road that comes to an end. Even though this couple needs help in just getting around, they seem unconcerned. Despite the limitations of old age, they are supported by loved ones, surrounded by a lifetime of favorite things and they have each other. The carnation he offers her is a symbol of enduring love."

St. Brendan's fame rests on the mythical adventure described in Brendan's Voyage, a 10th century romance of Brendan and a company of monks sailing the Atlantic Ocean to the Promised Land. One of the Stories of the voyage relates that Brendan, wishing to celebrate Easter Mass, landed on a small island in the middle of the ocean. After celebrating Mass, Brendan and his companions built a fire on which to cook a meal and thus awakened the sleeping whale they had mistakenly identified as a small island. Terrified, the voyagers rushed to their ship and fled. Since then, Brendan has been associated with whales and large fishes.

Nicholas flourished in the 4th century as Bishop of Myra in Asia Minor and is universally recognized as the model for our modern day Santa Claus. He is a figure about which there are more legends than facts. Patron saint of sailors, one legend tells of him appearing to storm-tossed mariners who invoked his aid and were brought safely to port. In the Low Countries of Europe, stories of his generosity were legendary and gave rise to the custom of exchanging gifts in his name. St Nicholas of Myra is from the world of Saints and Angels by James Christensen's exploration and creation of an alter-ego, an obscure Flemish painter known only as The Master of the Enoch Altarpiece. Previous releases from this collection, Isabella and The Enoch Altarpiece, are both Sold Out at Publisher. Coated Giclee Print on Archival Clayboard: Limited to 450 s/n. 7"w x 13"h - $260 |

The Bride Master storyteller James C. Christensen’s The Bride is a beautifully detailed homage to the traditions and folklore of the wedding day. The stage for this joyous vision in a pastel palate is set in a Christensen fantasy world, as we join a maiden and her unusual wedding party sailing into destiny. Richly layered nuptial symbolism awaits your discovery: something old (the ruins in the background), something new (the egg on the pillow), something borrowed (a tan girl from Baroque artist Diego Velázquez), something blue (the flowing ribbon in the bride’s hair, a symbol of purity from ancient Israel). That’s only the beginning! Much like the art of marriage itself, Christensen’s The Bride promises years of unfolding pleasures.

SAINT WITH WHITE SLEEVES Behold the latest discovery from James C. Christensen's Saints and Angels collection, a series he attributes to his alter-ego, an obscure Flemish painter known as the Master of the Enoch Altarpiece. Previous Greenwich Workshop Fine Art Limited Editions from the Saints and Angels collection include Isabella and The Enoch Altarpiece. The subject of Saint with White Sleeves does not appear to be a specific saint, and the model for this striking portrait was likely one of the Master's patrons. It was customary at the time for the wealthy to request that their portraits incorporate characteristics of saints or angels. In Saint with White Sleeves, the halo suggests a saint, yet the white sleeves hint at angel's wings. Mint Condition, includes coa.

 Sunrise in the Wallowas by Stephen Lyman Far removed from any major metropolis, Oregon’s Wallowa Mountains have long been a Lyman family favorite. Originally introduced to the splendor of the Wallowas by his parents, Steve would often take family trips there with his sister Shauna, and brother Scott. Later in his life, Steve introduced his wife Andrea to the area, and she cherishes memories of time spent there together “As I camped by this lake years ago, I awoke in the morning to watch the crest of the ridge catch fire with the golden light of sunrise,” Stephen said once in describing the inspiration for the painting. Steve submitted Sunrise in the Wallowas to The Greenwich Workshop in 1982 following not one, but two rejections of his work. Not only did this landscape convince Greenwich Workshop founder Dave Usher to finally publish Steve’s art, but he also bought the original painting to hang in the company’s offices.

"Few people realize that eagles can
soar up to 200 miles-per-hour in their roller coaster flights," says
Rod Frederick. "One of my favorite places to climb and watch them is the
mountains of Vedavoo in Wyoming. Splendid flyers, golden eagles will
spread their eight-foot wingspan and ride the northern thermals for hours on
end. They are truly inspiring to watch." |

The Oregon Trail The trek started in the spring at Independence, Missouri, that "great Babel upon the border of the wilderness." Here the wagons - on the average 10 feet long with 2-foot sides- were stocked: tools and clothes, seed, perhaps a harmonium, a clock; and the staples, bacon, beans, sugar, salt, coffee and probably a key of whiskey. They had 2000 miles to go and it would take about six months. On the last leg of the journey - from Fort Hall in Idaho to the Oregon City in the Willamette Valley- the pleasures were few indeed. Now food supplies were low, and broth immigrants and animals exhausted by the long months of the trek. Worst of all there lay before them the dreaded Blue Mountains, which because of the steepness of the grade, could be crossed with the aid of block and tackle. The immigrants prayed that now in late September the snows of winter would not come early to the mountains. On finally reaching the valleys of Oregon, the immigrants - 53,000 of them between 1840 and 1860 - without exception were glad the journey was over. This is a singed, numbered, limited edition print of archival quality. The paper is Arches 100% rag printmaking stock imported from France. The embossing is made from hand-tooled brass which took 75 tons of pressure to make the impression.
