Jim Lamb most often takes the metaphoric high road and paints with his eyes lifted to the hills, ever searching for the elevated and the permanent, the extraordinary and the eternal. Although the Impressionists welcomed the modern world, many of the California Impressionists sought to capture the untouched landscape. In “Last Light, Aliso Creek”, Lamb sees painting as meditation, much like Henry David Thoreau meditated on the sanctity and peace inherent in the wooded pond. The painting is signed "Jim Lamb" lower right and is housed in a beautiful, hand-gilded gold frame.
