Artist: Mandy Budan; Canada
Title: Spring Light
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Available: http://www.budanart.com/ also from Etsy.com
Appeal:

Budan does landscapes primarily in acrylic and I just love them. Simplified, almost cubist but with enough elements to recognize their underlying inspiration, the shapes fit together like a child's puzzle cut from wood, with bright, energetic, organic colors. I think this particular landscape, or folliage, piggybacks well on the prior portrait "Michelle" by Alice Linda, as though this is what should have been the background just above the portrait's head. Shape is the main character here, where shadows, corners, edges and curves are all given a life of their own.
