Lavender
by the Sea
As Impressionism makes a resurgence in the collected corners
of the Art Market- every once in a while an unknown artist will shine through
the hodge-podge of copy cat artists. Adams is
one such artist.
Recent acquisitions at the J.R. Mooney
Fine Art
Galleries include a pictorial
hit by this relatively unfamiliar artist-Adams.
Lavender by the Sea is a true masterpiece in all the artistically
exemplified connotations; obtuse angles, complementary color juxtapositions and
elegantly rendered skylines and traditional landscape elements.
Grounding the painting from the bottom vantage point are
heavy weighted lavender fields; deep rows of purple accented by the rising
sun’s warming rays make amethyst-esque highlights on the foreground frays. This
secondary color scheme guides the viewer’s eye into the middle ground of neatly
farmed vegetation. Balanced and bookended by two groups of early autumn tree groupings,
the scarlet tones of the leaves act as punches and pops of vivid color in an
otherwise tertiary Color scheme.
Although Adams
paints in a few cottages within the vertical landscape, these are diminutive in
importance, dominated by the metamorphosis of the changing of seasons.
Impeding on the upper left quadrant of Lavender
by the Sea is the deep cerulean abyss of a Mediterranean
maritime. Daunting in its own presence,
the waterline juts into the dissipating mountain background, adding that touch
of allure; a focal point and mid horizon line, the simplistic composition holds
together like a well played checkmate.
