James Downie ~ Gallery

Key images from the most popular 'Northern Artist' of recent years.

Oct. 2015: Buy directly from the artist @ ebay.co.uk (direct link to his paintings) - just checked and a bigger selection than I have seen anywhere else. Downie tends to list them when not as a buy it now then to end every Sunday evening so it's worth putting time aside then to bid. He usually lists 5 - 10 paintings to end at this time in one go.

Jan. 2015: Below is a gallery of paintings by James Downie. These have, at one time or another, appeared on the market. There are a few from the earlier 'Cornwall Scenes' period but are mostly from what could now be termed the 'classic Downie period' from around 2010 to the present. I kind of got involved in other projects a couple of years ago and didn't follow the Downie market. Now back I was surprised to see that the prices, once seemingly on an inexorable upward rise with his work appearing on popular British TV shows, have now fallen back to the pre-2010 days. I don't think that will last so now is the best time, in my opinion, to invest in his fantastic work. I'm now buying his work and details are here. What is currently in stock is here.

I started this gallery to make it a comprehensive list of paintings by this artist though it is still a fraction of the works by Downie out there. It is by no means complete (Downie is nothing if not prolific) so if you would like to e-mail any scans you have of his work that are not here then please e-mail here with, if possible, the name of the painting and size.

Most of the paintings on this page were in stock at one time but have long since gone so it's a kind of historical record.
