Angela Anderson is an artist from Russellville, Arkansas. She grew up in Palm Springs, California and moved to Arkansas in 1991 after graduating college with an Honors Art Degree from Arizona Western College in Yuma. Although grounded in the basics of art through her studies, Angela soon developed her own self taught style of painting with acrylics. Angela pursued decorative arts for a while but in 2004 she returned back to fine arts after her trip to France. She finds inspiration for her work in many things including music, a favorite movie, planting in her garden, childhood memories, and walking in the woods. She loves bold, graphic images with strong colors and elements of light and dark. Mood and color, contrast and harmony, simplicity and joy of discovery characterize her paintings. Impressionist art has always been a strong influence in her artistic expression, although her paintings have a more realistic feel, she enjoys leaving brush strokes and blurred edges to give a soft, painterly quality to her work. http://www.angelaandersonfineart.com/large-multi-view/Portfolio/54150-47-5440/Portfolio.html
The painting that I picked of hers is called "poppy days". I love the colors that she picked for that painting because I think that the blue of the sky and the red of the poppies work really well together. I am also a fan of bright bold colors and that is way her work appeals to me so much. She says she likes to create a mood with her work and I believe that this one does just that. The mood to this painting I believe is very happy and carefree and relaxed. I really like all the different colors in this painting and I like the composition of this painting.
