Peter Adams
Secret Cove; Afternoon Surge at Point Lobos State Reserve

2022

About the Item

Provenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist; February 2023 submitted to Autry Museum of the American West for the "Masters of the American West" exhibition and sale. UNFRAMED:24" x 30" Artist Statement “An exciting discovery for me was finding this intimate cove located off the beaten path in the southeastern corner of Point Lobos Nature Reserve. The ocean’s surging energy forced between the vertical rocky walls of this inlet was captivating. In painting this work, I particularly loved illuminating the patterns and transparency of the crashing shore break in the foreground on the right. I then composed an echoing effect by emphasizing a crashing wave in the middle distance to the left as well as in the background. By creating this rhythmic effect and by modeling the surface of the water, the theme becomes the power of the surf and foam that ebb and flow in nature.” —Peter Adams Exhibited Autry Museum of the American West "Masters of the American West", Los Angeles, February 11 – March 26, 2023

  • Morning Clouds Hovering Below Mount Blanca; Trinchera Ranch, Colorado
    By Peter Adams
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    Artist Statement "While staying at the Forbes' Trinchera Ranch in southern Colorado, I was intrigued by seeing this heavy cloud layer every morning hovering below Mt. Blanca's impressive peak of 14,351 feet. The cloud layer created an atmospheric division between the cool shadows below and the bright, warm light above." ―Peter Adams Description The artist's particular bold, broad brushwork magnifies a sense of epic in this pristine scene. The painting exemplifies the American West as an expansive land of free spirit and boundless possibilities. The colors are opulent and there is an intriguing sense of mystery about the subject, a Shangri-la feeling. The presentation of the painting makes a grand entrance statement. Provenance Acquired by the gallery directly from the artist Gallery Note The artist began the painting in 2006 and completed it in November of 2017. Exhibited Maxwell House...
