British actor Hugh Grant is doing all he can to promote his father, James, as an artist. James, 81, has recently launched his new art exhibition in Southampton, New York with the help of Hugh Grant. James is an amateur painter.

James had a star-studded opening of his watercolor works' exhibition at the Keszler Galley on September 5. Hugh has revealed that his father has been painting all his life, but it is only now that he has started to get the attention he deserves. James who loved in London and is originally from Scotland, follows the tradition of Scottish colourists.

James' paintings are full of colours in the nature scenes. James' first exhibit was three years ago in London, to benefit a cancer charity after his wife died from the disease. His second show was also for a good cause, with profits from the paintings going towards the Southampton Fresh Air Home, a camp for physically challenged kids.
