| Introduction | Born and raised in Oklahoma, Bob Adams grew up with Kiowas and Comanche Indians as his next door neighbors. Their oneness with nature instilled a love of the land in Adams which still shines through today in paintings that are known for their balance of light, nature and spirituality. Although landscapes remain his favorite subject, the artist also enjoys painting a variety of subjects including figures and wildlife. In addition, he is well known for his images of vintage cars and trucks. Adams traces the influence for this work back to a love of automobiles which he gained while watching his older brother race cars in Oklahoma. Adams confides that he did not set out to become an artist, but he eventually began to experience a strong desire to preserve memories from his childhood. "About ten years ago, I started portraying images from the past, and it was such a satisfying thing to recall those feelings and experiences that I finally began painting full time in 1995." The artist's work has been juried into the prestigious Sierra-Providence/El Paso Art Association "Arts International" Exhibition every year from 1993 to the present. |
