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!
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!
Anne Illustrates Roscoe Village...
Here is a peek at the recent Neighborhood Direct Coupon Book cover that I designed...they went out to 10,000 residents in the area.The image is an extended version (horizontally) of the street banner designs I created for Roscoe Village...stay tuned to see them as they are hoisted to the street poles of the neighborhood later this summer and fall!
If you mention it, I will honor this coupon for 20% off any original painting or print in my studio through the expiration date of July 30th!
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!
Will you be mine?
We had 5 adorable Spaniel mix puppies here on Saturday for our event with Chicago Canine Rescue, all from the same litter. They are still too young to be adopted but you can see each one on the Chicago Canine Rescue site and contact them if you would like to adopt! We had lots of people come in (and a few dogs) so it was good socialization for them and they sure loved to be held and cuddled. It was a fun afternoon and the volunteers were wonderful as usual! PS I'm still selling raffle tickets for the painting in the photo above...all proceeds go to CCR.
Random shots from the last two weeks...the bottom one is 3x6 foot commission...it gets it's own post next week...when it's finished! Hope you have a great weekend...Sweet Adoption Event with CCR Next Week...
