Time to head back outside to sell some art!

I look forward to returning to Iowa tomorrow for my first outdoor show of the season: The Marion Arts Festival. Here's a peek at some new pieces I finished up this week:

My display is going to look a little different this year...I had to say goodbye to my big black carpeted panels (see bottom photo), as I traded in my dear old pick up last fall. My new mesh panels fold down nicely to fit into my little Element...Eloise! (yes, I named her!) ; )

The mesh will be cooler compared to solid walls...and my booth much brighter since the sidewalls will be white, I do have a black cover for the back wall. Did a test set up of the hardware in a local park to save time on site...my load of steel has increased by about 75 pounds!

Forgot to post before I left for the show...stay tuned for a recap!

My unconventional Easter...you may have dyed eggs, I painted my foyer RED (calypso berry, if you must know). Love how it turned out! Really sets off the colors of my Susan Meredith Hinckley piece.

Bad Ass Art...

March 30, 2012Commissioned Art, Pet PortraitsAnne Leuck4 Comments

It was great fun to create this composition encompassing all the lovely animals at the "Bad Ass Sheep Farm". I had the pleasure of visiting the Hendricks Farm over the Holidays when I was visiting family and friends in Wisconsin and meeting all these adorable creatures. Very helpful to capture the spirit of this commission. In the painting: their chickens...(sorry I don't have names) Dogs: Joy and Bo, Jack (Sparro) the kitty cat, Jacob Sheep Ewes: Rachel and Rebecca, Romney Sheep: 769 & Pitchfork and last, but not least, Penny..the (not so) bad ass! Oh...and the bees, they even make their own fabulous honey...from the Division of Angry Bees! Such lovely people and an idealic little farm, thanks Beth Ann & John!
