In “Eucalyptus and Bush Daisies”, we see Lamb’s true ability to use bold brushstrokes to capture the light and color rather than fine details. Impressionists most frequently painted landscapes and other subjects in nature, and used the plein air technique of painting outdoors to capture their subjects directly. To reproduce the natural light, artists painted quickly, attempting to depict an “impression” of the scene rather than a detailed copy. In this plein air landscape “Eucalyptus and Bush Daisies”, Lamb captures the unique character of the California backcountry: the vibrant mustard plant in the foreground is nestled amongst the family of eucalyptus – truly a setting only to be witnessed by those who take the paths less traveled. The painting is signed lower center and is housed in a beautiful, hand-gilded gold frame.
