...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...

A big and colorful congrats to Angela Moulton...

I am thrilled to announce a lovely feature on this talented painter

Thanks to Jickie Torres, Editor in Chief of Cottages & Bungalows Magazine for including Angela in the new issue...and for helping to share her style and story...
 
Color just leaps from Angela's Pratt Creek Art original oil paintings...


Most are sized at 4x4 - 6x6 inces -- some are larger -- 
each one is a marvel to me...
 Most are priced from $50-$75 and in keeping with the artist's philosophy to keep original art affordable...

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
