Once Upon a Simpler Time is a nostalgic seek-and-find journey through the richly detailed acrylic paintings of James H. Worthington. Inspired by James’s lifelong fascination with the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, each scene blends memory and imagination to celebrate vintage cars, country markets, holiday traditions, community gatherings, and the quiet happiness of everyday life.

Readers are invited to slow down, look closely, and search for hidden objects, playful details, and unexpected surprises. Just when you think you have seen everything, another character, treasure, or humorous moment appears.

Born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1945, James has loved drawing since childhood. His greatest hope is that his paintings leave people feeling happy and filled with a sense of wonder.

Created jointly by James H. Worthington and Dianna Wright, this special collection celebrates James’s art, gentle spirit, and belief that the world still holds something beautiful for anyone willing to look closely.

Perfect for families, art lovers, nostalgia enthusiasts, vintage-car admirers, and curious readers of every age.

Never lose your sense of wonder.
