A copy in oils of the painting, Lake Keitele, by the Finnish painter, Axel Gallen-Kallela. The painting is signed with the Swedish form of the artist's name, Axel Gallen. I have also signed it as James Kelso so there can never be any confusion about the fact this is a copy. The original Gallen painting hangs in the National Gallery in London.

A First. In 2020, one of my paintings, The Treasure of Britwell Salome - Matins was accepted by the The Royal Society of British Artists (RBA) for exhibition at their Annual Show. The RBA is dedicated to promoting the highest standards of skill, concept and draughtsmanship in painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing.

GUARANTEED TO LAST 1000 YEARS 

I live by the rule, when you’re painting you’re not only making art, you’re making furniture. I use the finest light-fast oil, acrylic and watercolour paints, and work on hardboard. If you don’t damage, burn or submerge the paintings, they should last 1000 years. If they don’t, well, get back to me.
