“She Put on Her Rain Boots and Went Out Anyway” Original Painting 30”x30”

“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 Put on Her Rain Boots and Went Out Anyway”

30” x 30” canvas, unframed. 
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 Put on Her Rain Boots and Went Out Anyway” was inspired by its color palette. This painting was inspired by a stormy blue sky. The muted colors give it a quiet, moody feeling… much like a stormy day. The pops of bright golden yellow represent the color of traditional rain boots.  Sometimes on rainy days and through stormy times in our lives, we still have to keep going: Hence the title of this painting. It is the second in the “Faces in the Crowd” Collection.
