I had been hoping to see more of Jim's fine work, but found from another artist site he has passed on last year:-

 

James Rae a.k.a. vegaskip - WetCanvas: Online Living for Artists

 

Sad news, but we have this glorious catalogue of some of his work here on MSW to treasure.

Andrew, 

 

Sorry to hear that news about Vegaskip.

 

His MSW contributions were really quite a joy to look at and imagine how he came to understand the scene he was painting.

Sad news indeed. Curious to see that the poster on the art forum had only a single example of James' work to share, but here at MSW we have dozens, if not hundreds. He was prolific, and he did very good work.
