“She Took a Wrong Turn But Ended Up in the Right Place” Original Framed Painting 30”x40”

“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 Took a Wrong Turn But Ended Up in the Right Place” 

30” x 40” 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 Took a Wrong Turn but Ended Up in the Right Place” was the first neutral painting in this collection.  It was inspired by wanting to use neutrals after I painted several very bright paintings in a row.  All of these colors were neutrals when they were alone but painted next to each other the neutrals began to read more green or yellow in some cases.  I did not know this was going to happen or plan for it to happen but I really loved the unusual color combinations that came out in this painting. …and that’s how it got its name.
