Jim Lamb

Like many of the California Impressionists preceding him, Jim Lamb for years has been allured to the Central California coast to capture mother nature’s unique beauty, character and color. “China Cove, Point Lobos" is painting executed in a palette primarily of earth tones, greens and blues and depicts a beautiful summer afternoon at China Cove in Point Lobos, CA. This piece represents one of Lamb’s classic landscapes, with his distinctive swift brushstroke and monumental cliffs — many of which are dappled in the bright sunlight. Lamb’s brushstrokes are built up in almost geometric form, giving this picture a strength and richness that is uncommon among California Impressionists. Signed lower right, "J. Lamb", the piece is housed in a beautiful, hand-gilded gold frame.
