From the publisher:

Internationally acclaimed artist, James Coleman, a name synonymous with panoramic skies, tropical rain forests, silent woods & serene deserts, has finally condensed his life's work into a single volume. This book, introduction by world famous musician Kenny Loggins, walks you through childhood & early influences, onto an amazing 22 year career as a background artist at Walt Disney Studios, to where he is today. Coleman started out in the mailroom at Disney, eventually moving up to supervise the background department, working on such films as Beauty & the Beast, The Little Mermaid, and Mickey's Christmas Carol. Due to the tremendous respect Coleman gained during his years at Disney, he is still called back to work on new films, but has had to decline these offers as his personal art career has become so successful, thus keeping him busy. Whether you are an art collector or not, this beautiful art book featuring Coleman's paintings in brilliant color is a must. You will see why so many people around the world, including royalty, have become loyal collectors of James Coleman's art.
