Work
"Harvesting" was a favourite subject throughout Adam's life and many of his exhibits at the Royal Academy explore this theme. Adams' landscapes are characterised by his broad technique, use of rich colour and sensitive handling of light.
Following the example of Benjamin Williams Leader, George Cole and his son George Vicat Cole, he produced pleasantly naturalistic landscapes, truthful in detail but in general idealized.
Some of his paintings are labeled Clayton Adams and most are signed J. Clayton Adams.
Adam's paintings can be found in many art galleries in the UK including the V & A, London, Sheffield City Art Galleries, Sheffield, and many other regional centres.
