I´m a Canadian who visited NZ for 20 years. Driving through Roxburgh one day I stopped at the Endemic Art Gallery and fell in love with one of James´ paintings which captured the stark beauty of Central Otago. It will always hang on the wall of my apartment. RIP James, your talent lives on.

Our condolences to Geraldine and family. I taught with Jim at Southland College and then Cargill High 1976-79. Played golf weekly with Jim, Peter Hutchison and Chris Marshall. Was a very cheerful man and a great teacher. Always admired his art. Am currently in Southland on holiday and was going to call in. Very sad to hear the news.

My condolences to the family. Jim lived a few houses up the road from me in Lyttelton. Indeed, Jim, Geoff Priddy and I spend a number of nights together in a shack on the Waiau River. Jim introduced me to condensed milk in my tea. I admired him greatly.

Dear Geraldine and family's, my sincere and heartfelt condolences to you all for Jim's passing, he was absolutely my favorite teacher at Kingswell High School in the 1980s, what he taught me as an artist has been invaluable in my own art career, I have many fond memories of bumping into him over the last 35 years, so admired his art style and I always appreciated his frankness, kindly Michele .
