Watercolor artist Anita Hoodless paints a variety of subjects in an interpretive
realistic style. Her large still lifes and florals reflect her love of bold color and
strong value contrasts. She also enjoys painting the reflective qualities of glass
and silver.
Two national publications,
American Artist Watercolor Magazine and Watercolor Magic, recently
featured articles on Anita's work and methods.
Anita is a signature (artist) member of the National Watercolor
Society, and of the Kentucky, Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Alabama and
Southern Watercolor Societies. Her paintings are in many collections
throughout the United States and abroad.
