Norcross Art Fest Poster Design

I just sent off the final art work for the t-shirt/poster and yes, another billboard (yay!) for the Historic Norcross Art Fest in Georgia October 3-4.

Carbon Black

Just discovered Golden Fluid Acrylics, I've always used Golden Heavy Body Paints but the black does not thin well so I use a different brand...picked this up the other day, I love it - fluid but opaque, perfect for my process...
 

Progress...

Had a nice break this afternoon with a visit from my nephews Noah & Luke.

Collectors & Friends

I've had visits from a few of my collectors this week, coming to see the new studio space for the first time. James & Rosemary Sharp own several of my paintings and just purchased "Man-imal" to add to their collection: this painting was inspired by a sgraffito tile I created at Lill Street a few years back:

  

Today Linnea Blomgren (Board Member at Harmony House for Cats) came to visit with her newly adopted dog from PAWS Chicago, Molly:

It was a lovely afternoon here in Roscoe Village, lots of of new people came in today. The studio/shop felt just how I imagined and hoped it would be on a typical Saturday. Feeling grateful!

New Compositions Emerge from Basement

I have a show at the Humane Society of Berks County in Reading, PA opening on August 14th...need to get some new work done and shipped in the next 2 weeks...started these compositions at home and will bring to the studio to finish. I assumed not having any art fairs in July would free me up but the universe has supplied me with plenty of work...I could use a few 28 hour days!

Facebook Fan Page

I'm interrupting this blog for a commercial break: For those of you on Facebook, I recently created an Anne Leuck Feldhaus Studio Fan Page. I'll be sharing updates and works in progress as well as offering Fan Specials from time to time...please follow the link if you are interested and feel free to share with anyone else you feel would enjoy my work. Thanks!

No Photoshop Required...

I know you all must think I'm over-obsessed with this sign thing - well there should be no need for me to mention it again because it is out of my studio, out of my garage, out of my truck and on the building!!

Pug Studies...

Yesterday I spent some time googling photos of PUGS and trying to draw them ...I've only met a few, so my Pug Sense is lacking. I used purplish/blue to mark the ones I thought most successful, yellow for the 2nd tier and turquoise for nice try, but not so great. I would love your feedback especially from you Pug owners! The thought behind this is to capture a new breed each week to add to my new Personalized Pet Portrait Print option Portfolio, these are beautiful ready to hang mounted and laminated box prints - complete with your pet's name on the banner and custom colors.
