Thomas Adkins, Painter of Winter

Gregory James Gallery moved to a larger new home on Park Lane Road in New Milford in the summer of 2022, creating more space for owner Greg Mullen to exhibit paintings and sculpture by his coterie of superb regional artists. Thomas Adkins of Southbury, among the finest landscape artists in the Northeast and one of Mullen’s stars, is represented by a wall of paintings that refreshes every time pieces sell, which is often. Lyrical, evocative, and quietly rhapsodic, Adkins’s paintings capture evanescent moments in time when the atmospheric conditions and lighting bring a bit of magic to the landscape—and more than a few of Adkins’s fans consider winter his finest season, when his plein air paintings of western Connecticut, Vermont, and Maine embody the moods and mystery of the beauty around us so well it gives you chills—the good kind.
