Review of Artist Virginia Ann Holt Orange Poppy Mugs Visions in Faux San Diego

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
new york city, New York, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) January 14, 2012 -- As a passerby of a recent gallery showing, this art critic, not normally one taken by scenes of nature, I was captivated by the pure beauty and high quality of her pastel artwork. A warm feeling of calm and peace was found by this otherwise busy and rather critical art critic!

There is no one set standard for taste when it comes to fine artwork. With all the different myriads of choices we have in artwork today, it comes down to personal interest that defines what artwork appeals to us. What is applauded as genius for one may not be considered appealing by another. And that's okay! We live in a diverse world full cultural variety and preferences.

For those who adore natural scenery, one San Diego artist comes to mind that has a wonderful view of nature. Her name is Virginia Ann Holt, a faux finisher artist who is the owner if Visions in Faux based in San Diego, CA. Possessing a keen sense for nature, Virginia Ann Holt has a way of bringing out the pure essences of beauty in natural scenes through use of watercolor and pastel acrylic artwork techniques.

Her style and flair leaps from the canvas instilling a feeling of warmth and comfort in the one viewing the art. Her artwork has a sublime quality intrinsic to the very depths of your soul as a co-occupant living on planet earth.

The artwork of Visions in Faux artist Virginia Ann Holt ranges from a whimsical blending of colors to an almost perfect photo like quality. I felt the need to ask her personally if certain pieces of art were in fact photos, or maybe paintings of photos, "Nope," she said with a wry smile, "these painting are all straight from my heart. But thank you for asking!"

An engaging woman of elder years, her vivacity is contagious. Young at heart, her artwork shines like a river of life flowing through a meadow of loveliness.

"Everyone loves art, but not everyone wants a big painting hanging on their wall. Some people want to enjoy their fine artwork on other things, such as coffee mugs, calendars, greeting cards and other mediums," says Holt.

Discovering that her artwork can be found in various ways, I found myself drawn to her stoneware coffee mugs. Generous soul that she is, Virginia gave me one. It’s a blossoming red flower on a 12oz stoneware coffee mug. Simple, elegant and perfect. Now I can enjoy her lovely artwork in the mornings with every sip of my coffee. It sets a pleasant vibe for the whole day.

Another popular favorite are the orange poppy mugs also available in high quality stoneware. You can find examples of her artwork on her website at http:VirginiaAnnHolt.com.
