A Local Inspiration:  Anthony Holdsworth

5/27/2013

1 Comment

 
Over the weekend I had the pleasure of meeting artist Anthony Holdsworth.  I first came across Anthony Holdsworth's work during a stroll through the West Oakland neighborhood.  At the Northeastern corner of the West Oakland BART parking lot is a placard describing the history of West Oakland.  A picture of a typical Queen Anne victorian painted by Anthony Holdsworth showcased the architecture of the neighborhood.  After googling the artist I found that his studio was just a few blocks away at 351 Lewis Street in Oakland.  Every last Sundays of the month he has open studio sessions and welcomes the public.  June 7- June 29th, he will be exhibiting his works from Italy.  Immerse yourself in the vivid colors and striking perspectives of Anthony Holdsworth.

Here are a few great examples of witty pillows and pillow covers that add some charm to enliven a room.  Taking inspiration from mother nature D.L Rein and Pottery Barn show off coral renderings in their current collection.  Offering a more vintage look, a Light in the Box offers a classic rust red Volkswagon Beetle.  Urban Outfitters offers a variety of more contemporary decorative throws that are easy to incorporate.  

Compliments:
Shades of coral, sherbert and peach offer a pop of warmth and color to a neutral setting.  Dark chocolate browns contrast nicely with Tropicana orange and rust.  Shades of grey offer a great backdrop to more subtle tones.
