About the Item
This exquisite California coastal watercolor by American Impressionist Charles Partridge Adams (1858–1942) captures the serene beauty of the shoreline in vibrant hues of blue, green, and earthy tones. Painted circa 1925, the piece exemplifies Adams’ mastery of light, atmosphere, and Impressionist brushwork, evoking the natural splendor of the Pacific coast. Although unsigned, the work is attributed to Adams based on style and technique.
The painting is beautifully presented in a vintage frame, measuring 12 ¼ x 15 ¼ x 2 ⅝ inches, with an image size of 5 ¼ x 7 ¾ inches, making it an intimate yet striking addition to any collection of American landscape or coastal art.
About the Artist:
Born in Franklin, Massachusetts, Charles Partridge Adams moved to Denver, Colorado in 1876, beginning his artistic career under the mentorship of Helen Chain. Renowned for his landscape paintings of the Colorado Rockies, California coast, Yellowstone, and New Mexico, Adams worked primarily in watercolors, bringing a luminous Impressionist quality to his scenes.
After relocating to California in 1920, Adams joined the Laguna Beach Artists Association and focused on marine and coastal subjects, creating the signature coastal landscapes that remain highly sought after today. His work was widely exhibited in prestigious venues including the National Academy of Design and the Chicago Art Institute, and his paintings are now held in major collections such as the Denver Art Museum and the University of Colorado.
This captivating watercolor exemplifies Adams’ ability to blend American Impressionist style with naturalistic coastal landscapes, making it an exceptional acquisition for collectors of California Impressionism, early 20th-century watercolors, and American West landscapes.
