The late Jim Hamil captured the world as he moved through it — quietly, skillfully, and with a palette that never shouted. The Travel Show features a selection of his original works, created between the mid-60s and 2008, centered around a rediscovered sketchbook from a 1966 painting trip through Europe. Here is a link to all of the works: Art for Sale | Original Watercolor Art | Prints for Sale | Art Show | J R Hamil

The Travel Show is not a chronological exhibition — it’s a painter’s map. One built not just on destinations, but on the act of observing closely and translating what he saw into color, light, and form. For collectors who appreciate strong composition, atmospheric tone, and the handmade mark, this is a rare chance to own part of Jim Hamil’s legacy. Presented by his son, Alex Hamil, who will be in attendance to discuss all of the featured works in the gallery.
