View of the Church of the Visitation from the Church of St. John the Baptist in
By Peter Adams
Located in Pasadena, CA
Description
"Saint Luke (1:39-41) relates that, “Mary set out at that time and went quickly as she could to a town in the hill country of Judah. She went into Zechariah’s house and greeted Elizabeth. Now as soon as Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the child leapt in her womb and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.”
The Church of the Visitation is said to be built over the home of St. John the Baptist’s parents and commemorates this meeting between the Virgin Mary and Elizabeth, the mother of St. John."

Trappist Monastery in Latrun; Overlooking the Road to Jerusalem
By Peter Adams

"Latrun is on a hilltop in the Ayalon Valley, about fifteen miles west of Jerusalem.

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.
