Jim Lewis Booth

I think of you every time I see your signature in gold on so many of your paintings hanging in my home. Your art work still amazes me and I am blessed to have known you.

My husband and I had the great pleasure of meeting Jim Booth when we were living in Charleston in 2018. We went to the Jim Booth Gallery on James Island not far from where we lived and it was my birthday and my husband wanted to get me a Jim Booth painting. I selected "The Storm." Jim was there that day and signed my painting and personalized it. This was very special for me. Before we moved the gallery was in the process of closing because he was losing his sight. We learned Jim was going to...

I have several paintings of Jim Booth's in my home, but my husband and I stopped by the gallery in James Island to purchase another picture and this man starts signing my picture!! I'm thinking what are you signing my picture for? Turns out it was Jim Booth himself!! I had never met him didn't know what he looked like!! I was totally shaken also embarrassed that I didn't know him! I apologized and told him what a fan I was and I wish I could buy all his paintings!! He was touched !! It was...

I was honored to have met Mr. Booth from collecting his work and going to the gallery often. I miss going there and visiting him when he would be there.He will truly be missed. Condolences to the family. Rest in Peace. Larry Levinson

Every day, in every room of my home I am reminded of Jim Booth through his beautiful paintings. He has left an incredible legacy in his art work.

I was just surfing the net to see what the value of the so many prints we have on the walls. Jim would send us for insurance purposes and had not received anything in a while. I was shocked to read of his passing, such a great talent and always a joy to talk to him in his gallery. He dedicated several of the prints we purchased as gifts to our sons. They moved from the low country and his prints reminded them of home. As a Vietnam veteran one to another rest in peace my brother in arms.

I met Jim in 1995 when I moved to Charleston and visited his gallery. Jim and I visited after I bought several works. He was full of life and stories. I moved to North Augusta but came back to visit not knowing his past in North Augusta so we talked about his childhood for a long time. His paintings capture the beauty of the South and the timelessness of its landscapes. He was a kind and wonderful soul. God Bless the family as he will be missed.

Didn't have the good fortune to meet Mr. Booth, but always loved his art and have several prints. I wouldn't take anything for them. He leaves so much beauty behind for many to remember him by. He made his mark on this world. Prayers for all his family and friends.

Just Heard of Jim Booth´s passing. We lived in Charleston from 1972 to 1976 on Beauregard Street, James Island. One of our neighbors knew his mother and told us about his paintings. We all bought an original before he was famous LOL We have since purchased a few others and still have them hanging in our home. We love his marsh scenes and Rainbow Row. He will be missed by family and friends but will live on through his wonderful artwork! God bless.
