...she's teaching...we are so excited...join Angela


 Angela Moulton believes everyone can paint. To pass along the joy she has found in her own paints and brushes, the artist is eager to share what she knows and what she’s learned by painting everyday. 

AND SHE'S COMING TO EARTH ANGELS NEXT MONTH TO SHARE IT...SHE'S TEACHING DURING OUR SPRING GALLERY WEEKEND!!!

...if you've seen her work, you've seen how she pushes paint across flat surfaces like no other. 
With the goal of adding more color to our world, 
she captures movement in her subjects with subtleties of shading, drenched hues and unfettered brushwork.   

Her petite Pratt Creek Art paintings feature birds, flowers in bloom, and the many farm animals and scenes from about her rural home and the local, eponymous creek.


Painting on wood panels or canvas in oils, acrylics and watercolors, too, the artist is largely self-taught and has been at work with her brushes everyday for almost ten years.  In her journey to share what she sees, she has developed an inimitable style that is joyfully drenched in color and utterly captivating.

 

...she'll be teaching how to paint from live in her class...but it won't be donuts and coffee...LOL...you'll be snacking on treats during a break, but you'll be painting her signature birds and flowers combo...


Angela is an experienced instructor...She teaches just outside of Chicago at the Elmhurst Art Museum.



But don't expect a paint and sip kinda thing folks, this is a full-time professional painter who is sharing her know how, techniques and instruction...
you do not have any training to attend but you do need to be willing to try...remember, Angela believes anyone can paint...it's how she got her start!


Calling upon her experience painting both en plaine air and from still lifes in her studio, artist Angela Moulton of Pratt Creek Art will offer instruction in a three hour session to a limited number of students. 

 All students will be shown the process of painting her signature -- and oh colorful -- birds and blooms from displays she has created for the class. 

Each student will leave the class with skills in using acrylics, brushwork and a better understanding of composition and color...as well as their own 6x6 original painting on a notched maple panel.   

Morning coffee break treats included.  
 ($80 early bird)
Class conducted at 44 Jayne St, Florida, NY.  

Space is limited, early bird registration through April 15th is discounted…please book soon so we can make plans to include you!!! 9am-11:30am 


and hope to see you there!

...overwhelemed by this book...aka I love BIRDS!

...let's take a minute and 
let some congratulations take flight...
 
Angela Moulton has 24 of her paintings included among the pages of this stellar, 
new book by Angus Hyland...

The Book of the Bird...Birds in Art is truly amazing...

I pre-ordered it because of course Angela had shared with me that she would be among the pages, but it far exceeded my expectation...

 ...a description from Amazon
where the book is available...

The Book of the Bird celebrates the bird in art with an elegant, international collection of paintings, illustrations, and photographs, featuring all kinds of birds from the smallest tits and wrens to colourful exotics.

Interspersed though the illustrations are short texts giving background to the pictures and information on bird species. This is the perfect gift for all bird lovers.

 I love birds, I feed a nice group of them everyday  from my back deck as I take my first sips of coffee and check the weather...
 Angela's work seems to capture the magic, the movement, the color and small gestures they make...
 I am smitten with her work, and totally thrilled that the author of the book saw to include it among so many other amazing and storied painters...
 Angela is truly creating the art of our day...
abstract, yet never over-decorated...
...compact in its brushwork, yet lavish...
...and truly drenched in pigment...
We are thrilled to be her exclusive retailer... 

Thanks Angela for sharing your Pratt Creek Art with us and our customers, and many hearty congrats on the achievement of your inclusion in this lovely new book...

Most are sized at 4x4 - 6x6 inces -- some are larger --

swoon-worthy works from Angela Moulton had me at hello

....there are times that art stops you in your tracks.  

 
 it was just that way...
 

FULL STOP AND WHO IS THIS...
THESE ARE INCREDIBLE...

and I am so totally thrilled to be working with her to bring you her art...
 


They are so heavily pigmented, so saturated with joyful color, so wonderfully unfettered... 

I am completely captivated by them.
Angela works in oil paints on archival gessoed birch plywood panel and canvas...
And while her birds first caught my attention...
there is so much more to what she paints
...from cows and pigs....



to donuts and macaroons, and assorted sweets


 
...florals too...




her brush makes them fair play and her sense of color ensnares them...

Keep a keep eye on the site, these are posting to the site and going almost as quickly as they arrive...
This is just a peek at some current offerings and more are on the website 

A huge thanks to Angela for sharing her style...
she deftly captures the textures and hues of her subjects adding more color to our world…
and I am grateful
xo Jen
