Testimonials and reviews of James Green and his artwork
 There have been very few artists in the last couple of decades who have attempted to produce quality piscatorial artwork and little wonder. Most anglers are extremely critical of the depiction of their favourite subject matter and are a hard-to-please bunch. It takes an artist of a very high standard indeed who can satisfy the demand of the art customer today and especially so within the angling community. To find an artist who has not only the talent to produce a desirable original but also the business acumen to present the work in an affordable manner such as these lithos is a rarity indeed. But here is an artist, James Green, who is an angler and therefore one who understands an angler's demand for quality and accuracy in work of this kind. Well recommended."

As England’s most capped female flyfisher, I could not believe the incredible beauty and accuracy of the fish art by James Green. Stunning use of blended airbrush technique, together with his natural artistic abilities allows James to portray both brown and rainbow trout in all their glory. The brownie being depicted as predator; sedately searching a food source, where in contrast, the rainbow is seen leaping whilst in fight with the flyfisher (complete with fly), brilliantly portrayed by the artist. A 'must have' for any flyfisher!”

About Misty: I've been looking for a Fenscape I could live with for over 20 years. I saw yours and immediately recognised Crowland Abbey. When I later studied it more closely, I realised that I had watched that view every working morning for many years as I drove to Crowland along the High Bank from Spalding. Thank you for producing something I'll always treasure.

About Ramsey Abbey: Thank you James for sending us the framed Ramsey abbey print through the post, we received it safely and must say we was impressed from the off: First with how your website let us choose are frame for this painting so we could see what it it would look like before we committed to buy. Also we was impressed with how well this framed print was packed and the speed in which we received it (the very next day and we called you with our order!!). And lastly the Limited edition print itself is just breathtaking- we are so so pleased with it, everytime we look at it reminds us of our early days in Ramsey walking through the gates every morning to school, keep up the great painting we will be back for more.

About Stamford: I had the large "Stamford Meadows" limited edition print bought from me as a christmas present and I felt the need to email you the artist to say its the best present Ive had for years. The detail in this artwork is simply amazing and the large size of the impressive framed print fits above my fire place perfect as a main picture. Ive seen other artists paint the same view of Stamford Meadows in the past and seen many prints of it but for me the print I have here stands miles above the rest.

About Bluebell Wood: This has turned out beautifully! It was so great to see it all come together through the WIPs you uploaded. The details are astounding, from the leaves to the bark of the trees to the foliage on the ground. The bluebells really provide a nice splash to the otherwise earthy-toned color palette! Also, the lens flares - I noticed them upon reading the description on your website and I am amazed! They really aren't something one would normally see in a landscape painting and I like it.

About Flag Fen: In many ways perhaps a simple scene, Ancient Dawn (Flag Fen) by James Green presents through masterful execution a glimpse of the extraordinary within a setting initially mute... and thus, ultimately, all the more magical.
