OPA - Oil Painters of America

Dedicated to the preservation of representational art

Dianna Anderson


 
Artist’s Statement   
 
“Most of my work begins en plein air. In that way I can express nature’s grand beauty first hand. All my life I have been in awe of the world around me. To be able to create interpretations of those ethereal moments, I pursue the interaction of light, atmosphere and color. Some things that inspire me include the movement of water, quality of light, subtle color illuminations and character of the landscape.”
