About Me
Hi, my name is James Loveless Jr. and I sell western art and paint private commissions. During my youth, I would often visit my grandparents in Fayetteville, Arkansas and they influenced my interest in the old west. My grandfather was a rodeo cowboy, a rancher and a horse trainer. He was known throughout northwest Arkansas as the "horse whisperer." and he was legendary for his ability to train difficult horses. I was so proud of the many blue, red and yellow ribbons in his trophy cases around the living room. Since then, I have begun to reflect about memories of my childhood spent with my grandfather and my Native American grandmother. After moving to Fort Worth, Texas the subjects I wanted to paint changed. As I have gotten older, I have begun to research the relationships of African Americans, Native Americans and Mexican Americans in the development of the old west. I started drawing characters of the old west sparked by the stories of my grandparents. Later, my interest in art grew because of my mother's encouragement. In 1978 I graduated with a B.F.A. from the Kansas City Art Institute and I am a member of of the Oil Painters of America.
Loveless says, "I have a burden to express more than aesthetic beauty alone and I want to amplify the aspirations of all Americans that have contributed to make this country one of the greatest ever."
I have worked as a graphic designer, package designer, illustrator, teacher, muralist and finally a fine artist. Now I really enjoy painting historical art as scenes of the old west.. Please contact me for any reason!
Before the Corona Virus hit the United States, my wife and I led a 7-piece band. Presently, we have had all of our gigs to cancel since the outbreak of COVID 19. It has been difficult but, we pray you stay safe!
