Inspired by nature, artist Angela Moulton creates stylized bird portraits that are bursting with color and texture. Each impasto painting features abstract layers of thick brushstrokes that are built up to form each adorably plump body, perched on tree branches.

Moulton splits her time between Illinois and Idaho, where she comes across the many different bird species that inspire her. “I paint a lot of North American birds because it’s my home. But I love painting many birds from all over the world,” Moulton reveals on her blog. “I love songbirds because they are so cute and fat and sweet.” From cute chickadees to small sparrows, each expressively rendered oil painting captures the charm of the artist’s feathered subjects.

莫尔顿在伊利诺斯州和爱达荷州两地生活，在那里她遇到了许多不同的鸟类，这些鸟类激发了她的灵感。“我画了很多北美的鸟，因为这是我的家。但我更喜欢画来自世界各地的鸟，”莫尔顿在她的博客上透露。“我喜欢鸣禽，因为它们很可爱，又胖又可爱。从可爱的山雀到小麻雀，每一幅富有表现力的油画，都体现了画家笔下小鸟独特的魅力。

Moulton builds up layers of colorful, thick oil paint to create stylized depictions of each bird, often accentuating their rounded bodies and fluffy plumage. Her signature style not only reveals her talent for form, but also her eye for color. Each vibrant painting features complimentary hues that evoke the happy sound of bird songs in spring and summer.

莫尔顿为每只鸟都画上了一层色彩斑斓的厚油彩，经常强调它们圆圆的身体和蓬松的羽毛。她的标志性风格不仅体现了她的造型天赋，也体现了她对颜色的鉴赏力。每一幅充满活力的画作都以互补的色调为特色，让人想起了春夏之际，鸟鸣枝头的欢乐景象。
