Artist of the Week - Angela Arnold
"The Rich Earth" by Angela Arnold
Angela has been painting in South
Aberdeenshire since 2001, inspired by the local land- and seascape:
the view of big skies and changeable seas from the cliffs of coastal
Kinneff, where she lives, or the deep red earth of the
Mearns.

Angela says:
"In my paintings I try to capture
both stillness and motion (often linked with the emotion evoked) –
and maybe these are not so much opposites as two sides of the same
coin, seeking the core of the subject. I also produce vibrant
abstracts and most recently I have been experimenting with stark
bl/wh, rather minimalist, painting.A lot of my work is done in
acrylic on board, rather than on canvas, calling for a different kind
of technique. I have developed a method of mounting board on an
integral frame and the finished product looks like a box canvas, with
painted sides, ready to hang - or to frame, if you wish. You will
find my paintings work especially well in larger/modern rooms, with a
bit of distance and space."
