“My landscape paintings all depict wide-open spaces and clear views of the sky. The sky in my paintings, as in the real world landscape, defines the mood of the environment and constitutes a source of light and renewal: a “wellspring.”
Weather systems, long horizons, expanses of reflective water, and the atmospheres of light together make up these “almost real” imagined views. The skies, filled with light and weather, extend infinitely into space and carry a suggestion of the mystery of the “faraway”, just over the horizon-the meeting of memory and yearning, past and furure, reverie and dreams.
My hope is that these paintings can capture a viewer’s imagination and can evoke an inner experience of awe as well as stillness. I hope also to encourage a curiosity to go outside and look up…” – Victoria Adams
