Azure

by Adrian Gottlieb

The color, azure, suggests clear blue skies, calm seas, and a sense of peace. With the azure silk ribbon gently spiraling through her upswept hair, she appears serene, elegant, and poised. Gottlieb emphasizes his subject’s classic feminine beauty by projecting her aquiline profile and long neck against a dark background of floral designs. A golden asp coils around her arm and evokes the memory of Cleopatra, the quintessential symbol of strength, intelligence, and beauty.

"A very positive atmosphere for considering and viewing excellent California plein air art. About as ideal as one can imagine. Elaine Adams is a welcome source for enjoying all the displayed art. Eventually, my wife and I did buy a painting (it was our second visit.) We are thankful that we did."
