Looks like Jim Holloway passed away earlier today

For those without Facebook, his son Mike wrote:
"I feel like it’s necessary to post this because of all of the support everyone has given my dad over the course of this group. Earlier today, he passed away peacefully. My brother, uncle and I were there for him, holding his hand and telling him we loved him. To everyone who reached out or commented on my post about him being sick, thank you so much. It means a lot to us, and it meant a lot to him. Afterwards, I went to his house and looked at all of his old paintings. I wanted to share this one from the ‘70s with you all — a scene from The Hobbit, a book my dad forced me to read as a kid (I’m not complainin!) it’s a picture of the painting, not a scan, so I apologize for the unlit sections. But if everyone could please continue to share his art in this group and wherever else, my family would really appreciate you helping us keep his memory alive. He was a talented man, and I love seeing the stuff everyone shares."

Very sad indeed.

So very sad.  Happy to say I owned an original of Jim's work for quite sometime.  Just recently sold it.  Condolences to all.

I would just like to offer my condolences to his family and any Acaeum members lucky enough to call Mr Holloway a friend.

His talent fed the imagination of the young, and warmed the hearts of the old.  Thus for most of us grey hairs, he touched us at least twice in our lives.

A finer legacy would be hard to write.
