"Hi James, your work "A Break In The Clouds" is displayed in Wetherspoons, Westhoughton above their open fire. I am always amazed by the luminosity of the sun lingering behind the clouds. Initially I thought it was a cunningly placed downlight but I don't think it is looking at your other work.I just wanted to thank you. I have had the misfortune of being in that pub during some difficult times; divorces, illness, relationship breakups and just the general drudgery that life throws at you but when I look at that painting I'm instantly transported to a walk in the Lakes, a plod through Yorkshire or standing looking across the Edale Valley. The chatter and (in some cases) the fighting recede into the background and my mind wanders to those fantastic places.I will keep looking for your work as I would like something in my home to captivate me in the same way.Thanks againDuncan."

"Hello James,I live in Australia but will be visiting.Cirencester, England, in April. Would any of your works be displayed anywhere in the Cotswold area, Bristol or Bath in April? Your work is moving. Kind regards, Tess Kerin Gould."

"I have a sketching of a church in ma. USA signed James Naughton 1995 . Could this be your work ?"

"incredible ambiance. special"

"This is a beautiful piece, GOD CREATED THEE EARTH WITH ALL IT'S BEAUTY, AND AWESOME SENERY. YOU SEE GOD'S SUPERNAUTERAL POWER IN THIS PIECE."

"very MUCH like!!"

"It's like a comfortable isolation that makes one feel as if they are the only one in the world and yet lets them feel adventure and hope. Beautiful."

"These are both very spiritualy evocative paintings. The light is angelic. The shapes and forms are nurturing, serene and hopeful. They inspire me to get back to my own painting. James Naughton paints the earth as if it were our own souls."

"Absolutely beautiful work!!! Excellent!"

"I agree with Bill. Too bad not enough of us can awaken our senses to see the beauty we still have before it is all covered up too."
