Transcendence Loren D. Adams Makawao, Hawaii, United States C@2017 - “Transcendence” is 27”x 38.5” ( 600 mm x 1100 mm) Original oil painting on triple oil primed fine linen canvas by Loren D. Adams - in it's own fully restored early 19th Century museum frame 42"x 58" Inspired by current events and the music of Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony in Eb Major,The Eroica, Opus 55 What makes this picture a successful method to deliver the message is the quality of the lighting on the moving waters, the power of the ocean, and the all too apparent fragility of the human condition. The maelstrom itself is depicted as being over 300 ft. in diameter and the center of the abyss is filled with stars. Transcendence is the only option, exceeding all the usual limits, lying beyond the limits of ordinary experience.
