“Out of Plein air Tim Adams quietly caught the soul of my pond on canvas. I am honored to have these beautiful woods on my property so thoughtfully rendered.”

“Nature is not only all that is visible to the eye, it also includes the inner pictures of the soul.”

“Your work is beautiful and we couldn’t bring ourselves to part with the piece; we love it and are so happy that you chose to paint a unique view of our one and only historical Gervais Street Bridge.”

“I have no other wish than to mingle more closely with nature.”

“Tim is such a good artist. I enjoy his work. He gives much thought to his subjects; which is evident by his attention to detail and composition. His images are thought-provoking and many times nostalgic and most always comforting. His color palettes are cool and soothing and so comfortable to enjoy. Beautiful work. His work makes me happy.”

“I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful.”

“I commissioned Tim to create nontraditional portraits of my two sons and the results are strikingly beautiful. Tim was a creative professional from start to finish. I will treasure his work for years and will undoubtedly call on him again.”
