About the Item
This stunning, original signed landscape painting by Charles Partridge Adams (1858-1942) captures the breathtaking beauty of a Colorado sunset along the Front Range, near Denver. The painting depicts a dramatic scene with bare trees, a flowing creek, and expansive prairie in the foreground, set against the majestic Rocky Mountains in the background. Adams masterfully uses bold sunset hues of orange, yellow, red, purple, green, and black to evoke the dynamic colors of dusk. This vintage piece is framed in a custom frame, enhancing its timeless appeal.
About the Artist: Charles Partridge Adams was born in Franklin, Massachusetts, in 1858 and moved to Denver, Colorado, in 1876 to help his family seek better health in the dry Colorado climate. In Denver, Adams found his artistic path under the guidance of Helen Chain, a former student of the famed landscape painter George Inness. Adams quickly became a notable figure in the Colorado art community, known for his stunning landscape paintings.
Throughout his career, Adams traveled extensively across the American West, capturing the vast beauty of regions like the Rockies, Yellowstone, and New Mexico. His work is celebrated for its vibrant use of color and deep connection to the natural world. A prominent member of the Denver Artists Club, Adams exhibited widely and received multiple accolades for his contribution to American art, including a gold medal at the 1884 National Mining and Industrial Exhibition.
In 1905, Adams and his wife Alida built a home and studio in Estes Park, where they spent summers capturing the landscapes that defined his career. His landscape paintings, especially those of Colorado, remain highly sought after and are featured in prestigious collections, including the Denver Art Museum and the University of Colorado.
Adams’ artistic legacy extends beyond landscapes; he also worked in watercolor, crayon portraits, and even marine subjects during his later years in California. His works were exhibited at major institutions like the National Academy of Design, Chicago Art Institute, and Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo.

Charles Partridge Adams
Born in Franklin, Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved with his mother and two sisters to Denver, Colorado, in 1876 in an effort to cure the two girls who suffered from tuberculosis. In Denver, Adams found work at the Chain and Hardy Bookstore. He received his first, and only, art training from the owner's wife, Helen Chain. Mrs. Chain, a former pupil of George Inness, provided instruction and encouragement to the young artist and introduced him to other artists in the area including Alexander Phimister Proctor. Proctor and Adams developed a friendship and the pair embarked on a three-month camping trip in Egeria Park, Colorado. In addition to exploring, both artists did quite a bit of sketching on the trip. After their return to Denver, Adams and Proctor shared a studio for a short period of time before Proctor moved to New York. Adams remained in Denver and after a short stint as an art teacher he studied wood engraving with Major J.M. Bagley. He quickly abandoned the engraving for health reasons and began working in crayon. His business card read "Landscapes and Crayon Portraits" though he much preferred landscapes. The artist soon made a name for himself in Denver. He established a wealthy clientele that purchased a number of his paintings to decorate their homes and to give as Christmas gifts. In 1890, Adams married Alida Joslin Reynolds and the couple honeymooned in Estes Park, Colorado. That same year, he exhibited for the first time at the National Academy of Design. Three years later, the artist opened his first studio on Larimer Street in Denver. He began working in watercolor and had success in the new medium selling his paintings in stores in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Kansas City, and Chicago. Also in 1893, Adams became a charter member of the Denver Artists Club. In 1905, the couples dream of living in Estes Park was realized when Adams completed construction on a home and studio there. Adams referred to the studio as "The Sketch Box" and the family spent summers there every year. Though Adams is best known for his Colorado landscapes, he also painted in Yellowstone, the Tetons, the Canadian Rockies, the New Mexican Desert, and California. In 1914, the couple sailed to Europe where they spent five months touring. Three years later, Charles suffered from a near-fatal illness. In 1920, Adams moved to California where he opened a studio first in Pasadena and later in Laguna Beach. He became a member of the Laguna Beach Artists Association and began painting marine subjects. ©David Cook Galleries, LLC
