“She Always Asked for Extra Cherries” Original Framed Painting 30x30

“This is Faces in a Crowd —

a collection born from color, connection, and contrast.

I asked friends and family to send me colors that inspired them.

Those shades became the heartbeat of these pieces.

From there, I explored the space between structure and the organic—

shapes that are both intentional and free.

Each painting captures a fragment of a moment,

a feeling,

a face you might almost recognize.

This is my latest work—personal, layered, and full of quiet stories.

”She Always Asked for Extra Cherries”

30” x 30” canvas framed in a matte gold floater frame. 
Mixed Media original painting by Angela Holman.

This collection of paintings was inspired by the people in my life. What started out in my mind as organic pebble shapes quickly became crowds of people. Each time my husband walked through my studio as I was painting he mentioned that the paintings looked like crowds to him…Then I started seeing it too!  So each painting has a story, a memory, or a feeling connected to it. 

“She Always Asked for Extra Cherries” was inspired by its color palette. The greens and pinks reminded me of cherry limeade and how my Mom always asked for extra cherries in hers. It’s fun, playful, and youthful: much like my Mom was! It’s a happy painting that reminds me of happy times. It was my first in the “Faces in the Crowd” Collection.
