Vintage ALF Paintings for Sale at the Bucktown Arts Fest this weekend!

I'm very grateful to share that we sold our house in this impossible market...and I'm downsizing my life in a big way, so that means I'm ready to part with some vintage art works that I've made over the last 15 years. I'll have many at this weekend's Bucktown Arts Fest. This little show is still going strong and now, bigger than ever. I'll be selling lots of new works from the summer as well as vintage pieces from the late 90's...pieces I painted when I lived in the neighborhood. C'mon by...let's liven up your walls!

 BUCKTOWN ARTS FEST

Anne's Booth Location: #14

Northwest Corner of the Show on Belden

Dates & Times: Saturday, August 27th & Sunday August 28th

11:00 a.m. - Dusk

Round Trip Flight, 30x30 Acrylic on Canvas in Wood Frame: $500

This is the only large piece I have left from my "flying people" series...I did many of these before Izzy and other dogs came into my life...they were inspired by dreams of flying!

‎Day & Night, 28x30 Acrylic on Wood, Framed: $400

Strike 3, 25x49 Acrylic on Canvas w/wood frame: $600

This piece chronicles the traumatic gang problems we lived through in Bucktown back in the 90's. I still have the quarter brick that came through our window at 3am...our sweet salvation: we had just put in an order for new windows the week before!

Canine Gargoyles and other photos from Wells Street...

With Kelly Velasco and her new painting 'Black Hair...Blue Mood'...

Sharon got the brand new "Black Cat" painting...

I was mesmerized by the canine-ish gargoyles at the old Grossinger Cadillac building on Wells Street...lots of construction going on, hope they don't tear this beauty down.

Tango....A day in the life of a Vizsla

This was another Holiday Pet Portrait Gift...this one a 24x36 Painting of a local Chicagoland Vizsla, "Tango". I met Cris and his wife back in August at the Bucktown Arts Fest, he contacted me in November wanting to surprise his wife with this wonderful gift. He was the perfect client - supplying me with many wonderful photos and a list of Tango's favorite places, activities, toys and treats, including baguettes after picking one up on a walk near the Red Hen Bakery. This was a fun project from beginning to end!

This was the final sketch before I did the painting....and black and white below:

6 foot commission...signed, sealed & delivered!

 

  On Thursday I delivered this 6 foot commission that has been in the works since last fall. My clients are a wonderful couple from the Roscoe Village neighborhood. It was a fun collaboration, taking their list of things/places they love and then developing a composition around these elements. It becomes a very personal and meaningful piece. I can't wait to see photos of it hung, they have a gorgeous home and the colors are so complementary. I've included photos of the painting at different stages as well as the final sketch that was selected as a basis for the original piece of art.

I love this process and felt great working so big! Let me know if you would like to discuss a special custom painting for yourself!
