Abstract, contemporary Landscape Painting

Limited Edition Prints Now Available!

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Mon, 18 Aug 2014 16:09:00 +0000

After a lot of back and forth with various publishers who wanted to work with me, I'm now offering Limited Edition Prints via Houzz! Selected works are already available and more will be added soon.

Oceano - Limited Edition Print in a living space

These prints are created using archival inks on beautiful matte art paper. Each print is hand signed.

I've been wanting to offer lower priced art for a long time, and while the works on paper and etchings (original prints) offer lower price points, they are still originals and priced as such. In addition, a lot of feedback I'm getting from my website is that people are really interested in specific paintings, but either can't afford them or the works are already sold. But I did NOT want to offer reproductions on canvas, as this is pretending to be something it's not: an original on canvas. However, when printing these paintings onto high quality paper, the results are really stunning! These prints have a quality of their own, and because they are on paper, they make no attempt in pretending to be a painting. They are reproductions. Top quality beautiful pieces, but reproductions. And they are priced as such.

View Available Prints!

If you have a particular painting you would like to get in print format, please feel free to let me know.

Johannisnacht in Carnac

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Tue, 13 May 2014 19:14:00 +0000

I'm honored to have this beautiful poem dedicated to me. It's in German, so apologies to my non-German speaking friends. Vielen Dank dir, Margarete Platzer!

Für die Malerin Anne Stahl

Johannisnacht in Carnac

Elfe an Menhir
Gelehnt, so fand ich mich
In jener Nacht
Geschmiegt an den Riesen
Aus Granit
Steinalter Brocken
Megalith

Ich hatte Werkzeug nicht dabei
Um deine Schroffheit abzurunden
Vertraute weiche Körperformen
Aus deinem Leib herauszuschlagen
Nur meine Hände legt`ich an
Verwesungsspuren zu verwischen
Haut auf Stein
Kein Raum dazwischen

Haut auf Stein
Das fühlte ich, Geborgenheit
In jener Nacht
Weiß besternt
Jasmin, Holunder
Die Einheit der Dinge
Und Raum für Wunder

Aus der Zeittiefe schmuckloser Gräber
Aus den Dolmen stiegen Wächter
Dunkelmassig Stein um Stein
Lautlos kreisten sie uns ein

Rückwärts sprang ich in die Nacht
In ein dichtes Netz aus Blüten
Jasmin, Holunder
Im Weiß dieser Mauer
Meine Augen
Rückzug und Trauer

Heute knete ich aus Ton
Muttergottheiten
Weibliche Formen
Kleine Figuren
Flach und zerbrechlich
Ich lege sie im Kreis um dich

Why is this art making people stop in their tracks and look into the sky?

Google's Aaron Koblin portfolio already is impressive, but when he partnered with Janet Echelman a successful master sculptor and TED talk veteran, something truly new and beautiful emerged. When you put two masterminds and creative trendsetters together, the results are always going to be interesting, but this collaboration goes way beyond interesting!

This is the crossroads where art and technology meet. Pioneers of data visualization like Eric Fischer, who created, or DJ Patil at LinkedIN Lab who developed a tool, that lets it's users generate a visualization of their network - have demonstrated how data can be presented in an aesthetic way, not just to illustrate the information they inherently contain, but to create a piece of art that stands on it's own right.maps based on geotagging by users on Flickr

NYC by Geotagging

With languages like Processing making it relatively easy for non-computer science graduates to develop programs that can generate this type of visualization, the tools have come a long way. And with the sheer volume of data available today (Big Data has been the center of attention at CeBIT 2014) the possibilities seem endless. However, to date, most of these project were created by science and computer enthusiasts and professionals, rather than by artists.

There are still few universities and colleges that offer any programming or technology courses to art majors. At best there are courses for Photoshop and Image editing, but rarely can an art student learn the tools needed to dive into data visualization. Yet, with so much data and so many advances in technology, this area is crying out for further deep exploration by the most creative of our globe's people. The MAT (Media Arts and Technology) Graduate program at UCSB in Santa Barbara, California is one of the few universities with a deeper focus on merging art and technology. Other school probably have similar programs, but I might not be aware of them for a number of reasons.

Interestingly, the role of Social Media in today's society has also been largely ignored by artists. Although many use it to promote their work and exhibitions and to market themselves, the topic itself has not made it into their work (please feel free to comment if you are an artist who has done so or if you know of any).

In the end, it is still refreshing to see projects like 'Ununmbered Sparks' and probably well worth a trip to Vancouver!

Pinning Art?

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:24:00 +0000

Pinterest has been around for a while, and it's been growing into a pretty awesome image sharing and idea generating social network. So, after using it for some personal stuff I decided that I will integrate it with my website. For one, I am slowly adding 'Pin It' buttons to my images, so my visitors can 'save' a painting to their own board, and secondly, I'm creating a board featuring some of my work.

View my board

Your feedback is welcome!

When I first built annestahl.com to showcase my artwork online in 1998 it was a boxy, table based layout with no use of CSS or Javascript - just plain old HTML. Little did I know in 1998 that this simple attempt to show my work to a broader audience, would provide me with a side career that would enable me to work independently as an artist, because I could always find well paid part time work.
However, years have passed, and I have built or assisted in the build of hundreds of websites, many of which were very high profile (e.g. apple.com), but the most I did to my own website was to remove the table basis and add a lightbox script - which I integrated bit by bit or painting by painting. The design has not really changed since 1998 - and it's not much of a design to begin with. Now, towards the end of 2012, with HTML5 and CSS3 in full sail, with more and more users on mobile devices, and mobile no longer meaning 'cell phone', it's just hard to look at my own website - which is not responsive, and which really doesn't show my artwork off as well as it could.

Screenshot of current homepage

I've resisted the temptation to renew my website frequently, because I know only too well, how time consuming a good redesign will be, because my users have always given me good feedback for even the current layout and design, and - perhaps most importantly - because I simply do not have the spare time to do it. Having built several art and photography portfolio websites, I've become painfully aware of the overwhelming variety of website available for artists that are 'ready to use' or somehow template based, like WordPress themes or Portfolio builders (like Squarespaces.com). But being a front-end developer I want to find the balance between building something from scratch while not reinventing the wheel.
For all my artists friends out there, I will post what I find here.
In the meantime, I would really appreciate everyone who reads this blog or visits my website, to share their feedback about the site. What do you like about the site? What features should absolutely stay? What could be improved? How do you currently view the site? Are you finding what you're looking for easily? Any suggestions, comments, ideas, etc...?

Artists are becoming marketers

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Sun, 04 Nov 2012 06:06:00 +0000

Everywhere you look these days it seems that artists have become marketers - or has it always been like this?

I've been working as an artist since I graduated from art school in 1994 (and to some extent I was an artist many years before that). When I started out, artists typically did a lot of - well - art. As painters, we spent most of our time in the studio painting, or drawing, sketching, etc... a lot of effort also went into creating stretchers, photographing for inspiration, working in notebooks on ideas and drafts and philosophies about art in general and our current work in particular. Another big chunk of time was dedicated to exhibitions, starting with getting a slide-portfolio together, sending it to galleries for review, studio visits, arranging for a show date, delivering work, hanging work and appearing at the opening. Not all of these steps were necessary every time or for every artist. But you get the idea.

Nowadays, most of my artists friends spend just a little bit of time in the studio painting or working on their art, but a lot of time promoting it. Many devise incredible schemes to sell prints of their work, or some other cheap variation of their 'real work'. Going through website after website where you can upload your images, to sell on mugs, as calendars, posters, giclees, etc... There are also an incredible amount of online galleries supposedly dedicated to selling your work, and boasting success stories.

Since the mid nineties I too have used the internet. My path was perhaps a tad different in that the internet provided me with a side job, that would pay my bills, rather than using it to endlessly and tirelessly work on promoting myself.

However, I find it utterly sickening, that artists have had to become marketers in order to survive. And let's face it, none of us stand really even a tiny chance of surviving on selling our actual work! But this is a real tragedy, because we are NOT marketers, nor should we become one. Our gift is to create ART not to sell it or convince others of it's value. It's societies big mistake to take art for granted and to want it CHEAP! If an artist spends a month on a painting, just by sheer time and materials the work is worth at least $4000 - not to mention artistic value! Our studio rents are often like second mortgages, oil paints are ridiculously expensive, and stretches may be cheap at crappy art chain stores, but the quality stuff is more expensive than ever.

When we are forced to work as marketers and sales folks, society looses out big time! And I for one won't stand for it any more. I will NOT market myself anymore to the ever cheaper audiences, who seek but a quick fix to show off to their friends or an investment opportunity or something 'pretty' for above the sofa. I'm lucky to be able to say No to all of that because I have a skill that pays my rent. But that skill also means that I have to invest valuable time at a 'day job' that I ought to spend painting.

We do live in a time that is going to go down in history as the most soul-less and culture-less in 2 millennia, perhaps longer. And in the USA the art landscape is but a graveyard of wanna-be glories. Here there is not only zero support from the government, but there is also next to zero true interest in the real advancement and participation of culture. This, the land of the free, is poverty stricken and un-free. This is far from the 'Greatest Nation on Earth'.

Stand with me for True Art and Culture! And stop giving your work away for cheap. Stop letting others walk all over you. Stop looking at what art sells and copying that! Say no to online galleries. Stop selling your art on mugs and postcards. Cancel your Art Magazine subscriptions. Stop donating your work for auctions to benefit OTHER causes. Ours is the cause we should support! Start by getting into your studios and paint, print, sculpt, draw, sketch, photograph, brainstorm, think, imagine, live, dream....

Five is a Blackmouth Cur - think 'Old Yeller'

This is a personal appeal to all my blog readers. Tragedy hit yesterday when my friends' dog was viciously mauled by another dog. There is more to it, as this family, hit hard by the current economic downturn, have lost their jobs, their home, battling medical conditions, etc... I have opened my home and heart to them, and they are living in a large tent in my backyard until the winter freeze will be too forbidding. But right now, the latest in a long series of sheer horribly bad luck, is that their beautiful, lovely puppy 'Five' was badly injured and we really need all the help we can get right now! Please visit the fundraiser site and help out. Any little bit counts!

Working with Pigments - Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Fri, 25 May 2012 00:08:00 +0000

I just received an email from Bill Kane, of Digital Grange, a company that provides services for artists, such as photography, framing, stretchers, scanning and printing, about a new workshop they are offering, which would be really interesting to many of my readers here, so I decided to share their message:

Pigments, Paint Making and Grounds for Painting

A full day seminar with Sinopia Pigments of San Francisco owner Alex Warren

Saturday, June 16th 9am - 4pm, with a one hour lunch break $95.00
Digital Grange 405 East D St. (at Lakeville) Studio B in Petaluma
Limited class size - Please RSVP (707) 778-2238

This full day seminar will be an introduction into the use of raw materials for making paint and traditional grounds.

Paint Making: Since the invention of tubed paints, artists have slowly lost touch with the ingredients in paints. Many professional artists do not know that paint is comprised of pigments and a binder. Furthermore many artists are surprised to find out that making paint from scratch is quite simple and cuts their paint cost in half. Making paints also gives the artist access to historical pigments such as Lapis Lazuli and genuine Earth Pigments. These are pigments which have been abandoned by most modern paint manufacturers, but are essential in palettes used by such artists as Rembrandt and Van Eyck. Alex Warren will discuss all of the different binders available (oil and water-based) and what advantages are associated with each paint base. The making of oil paint, acrylic paint, egg tempera, casein (milk paint) and encaustic will be introduced and demonstrated. Additionally all of the pigments will be discussed. Participants will learn about the different pigment types and how to categorize the characteristics of pigments in order to make pigment selection a manageable task. This class is open to all levels of expertise and in-depth question and answer sessions are encouraged.

Learn how to mix your own paints.
Develop their own personal 'recipe'.

The Traditional Grounds: Acrylic Gesso is a surface that many artists take for granted and may not be the most ideal surface as a solid foundation for paint. Traditional Gesso made from Chalk and Rabbit Skin Glue is a rich velvety absorbent surface, which can be used for all media and is a required ground for such paints as egg-tempera, casein and encaustic. In this demonstration, Alex Warren will discuss different priming options for both canvas and panels. Traditional Gesso making will be demonstrated and each participant will work on their own panel. At the end of the class each participant will take home a gessoed panel. Traditional Gesso is also the foundation for water gilding, a process in which gold leaf is laid onto a soft clay bole surface and then burnished to a highly reflective luster. This class will provide a brief introduction into this ancient gilding technique.

New gallery - artist relations page

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 04:52:00 +0000

I've been thinking about putting together a type of manifesto for artists to use as a reference when dealing with galleries. All too often are artists ripped off in their dealings as a professional and commonly artists do not sue to ensure their rights. Being informed from the get-go and having a contract in place is the best start, but clearly it doesn't end there.

I'm looking for your feedback. Please let me know if you have anything to add, or correct, or have concerns. Please also note that this page is primarily aimed at the US art market - it may well be very different in other countries!

Galleries are also invited to provide feedback. My main point here is that this is a relationship and that both parties must provide good and fair and honest input. So, hearing your concerns would be really really helpful here.

Please read the manifesto here.

Another scam

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 21:09:00 +0000

To all fellow artists,
If you receive a message by 'Robert Power' wanting to buy your art, it's a scam - or at least I'm 99% certain. I know a few of us already received messages by him. He sends two messages using a title of two of your paintings/prints/sculptures/etc so it LOOKS serious. But I guess these scammers are realizing, that these things no longer work if the message is totally anonymous and obviously automated.

The first message simply says: "Do you still have this item for sale?" You'll receive two of these mentioning four different works. If you reply you'll get a response that is clearly automated. It does not include your original message and it asks for your information - to accept a check... Tell tale signs of an internet scam.

The second email says:

Thanks for the message, I am very happy to know that the (Intruder
)available for sale. i must tell you that my wife was stuffing through
the net now and she saw your good artwork and she is very much
interested in the immediate purchase because she need it for our new
apartment.

I will like to to buy it before someone else Grap it and i will pay
you securely with a Bank cheque which will be payable to your name
and i will wait till it clears your bank before the pick up. This is
because i will be traveling out of the country any moment from now for
a business proposal. So get back to me with the information needed to
send you the payment I:E

Full Name
Standard Address
CELL NUMBER
Total cost

So that i can proceed in the payment arrangement and relay it to you
asap. Kindly remove the listing from sales and consider it sold get
back to me asap with needed information. Thanks Once Again And I Await
Your Quick Response

As you can see, you're about to give away your name, address and phone number. Don't do it! If you absolutely want to follow it up, hand it off to your gallery. If it is legit, they have earned the commission they get for providing a service to get secure payments! But they will know how to handle payments and interactions like this.

Retrospective at Atmodspere

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 07:19:00 +0000

New and old work will be on display at this new San Luis Obispo's contemporary art space. Atmodspere is a place for everyday objects, furnishings, home design and art.

The distinctive Nordic flair of symbiosis of minimalism and contemporary, provides a unique, intimidating atmosphere for art lovers of all shapes and forms. The space is flooded with creative genius and inspiration, welcoming visitors and shoppers, and embraces the art with heart and soul.

Ever wondered what contemporary art would look like in your home? Come in and you'll get a feel for just how original art not only makes a space alive, but also it's inhabitants.

Stahl's work infuses the re-inforced raw red brick with a sense of tangible beauty, that is delicate and riveting at the same time. Her abstract landscapes lead the viewer into a land outside the gallery's walls, inviting you to get lost between textured details and the magic of expressive abstraction.

The show presents a vast variety of work from 2004 to 2011, from etchings to works on canvas to encaustics.

Cost: $99 per person. Early bird discount ends Nov 10 - please see below or visit our Facebook event page for registration details. Space is limited.

Data, Science and Art

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 04:02:00 +0000

Inspired

I saw Nathalie Miebach introduce her sculpture and the principles behind it on a TED talk (see below). Her work is really stunning and inspiring to me, as I too am pursuing a path of finding the intersection of art and science. Why these two disciplines have always been considered polar opposites, when in fact throughout all of history we can see anecdotal evidence of art and science going hand in hand, complementing each other, and in deed depending on each other.
Many scientists are also artists or you might say, many artists are also scientists. Yet, society perceives the artist as a flimsy, lightly to not educated individual who engages in the simple pleasures of life and lives day by day. Whereas scientists are seen as hard working, extremely intelligent and educated people who give their lives to their work, and whom society has much to thank for. In reality however, both groups are somewhere in the middle or have aspects of both. I suspect this wrongful perception is most prevalent in the US, where - unfortunately and to the dismay of most professional and serious artists - anyone who engages in simple crafty or arty past-time considers themselves an artist.

It is thus all the more refreshing to see a US based artist produce work of such immense artistic and scientific value Nathalie Miebach is a Boston-based artist who translates weather data into complex sculptures and musical scores.

Delilah LaFe

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 06:08:00 +0000

Delilah LaFe

In a cold barren wood
lived Delilah LaFe.
In her old shattered blouse,
which she wore every day.

Her face is ashen and blurred when she cries,
pity and drear are within her blue eyes.

A small stray tear would run down her face,
‘t was dirty and smudged and quite a disgrace,
but no one was there to laugh or to scold,
for she was peculiar some way ‘t was told.

They had sent her away on that cold foggy day,
and had left her at the side of the wood.
She asked for a friend,
for her wounds they would mend,
she looked up in surprise
for in front of her a young fairy stood.

Her eyes seemed of pebbles,
her wings seemed of air,
her hair like the mane,
of a brown chestnut mare.
Her dress was of petals,
her shoes were of silk,
her skin very pale,
was the color of milk.
Her thin voice broke silence,
it was like that of the wind,
that swirled and twirled,
that laughed and spinned.

She said, “Delilah”, as a smile crossed her face,
“are you lost, are you lonesome, how’d you come to this place?”
Delilah explained her hard situation,
as a tear cross her face made it mighty migration,
it dropped to the ground,
a soft place is what it chose,
and amongst the soft earth a lilly arose.

The fairy’s smile grew and grew,
and suddenly she knew what to do.
“Us fairies, we can do magic, it’s true,
so we could make you a forest fairy too!”
“My name by the way Angelina Marie,
and you would be my sister, you see?”

So Angelina Marie cast her quick spell,
Delilah’s heart was no longer sore,
and she didn’t have to be alone anymore.

A great poem I heard recently

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:16:00 +0000

Butterfly Story

Butterflies flutter from tree to tree
They fly so wild and so free
They bring the humans curiosity and smiles
And they spread their beauty for miles and miles.

From the flower they produce a silky nectar juice
And from inside the flower
They get pollen
And give the other plants a shower
They sprinkle them with yellow dust
They hear a sound
And with a wingly thrust
They'll all come up from their flower bed
Like a flipping page that has been read.

They fly away all in one
They fly away to the shining sun
They fly for long while
They fly over countries like the nile

Then they rest their dreary wings
And they rest until the morning
When the bluebird sings

Then they lift in the air
And with everything they share
Their joy and glory
And on and on will go their story
Until they land
With summer's last glow
And they soar through the grey fall
Then they fly away south
With winter's first snow.

Then with the home coming spring
And eggs waiting to be hatched
They return to their flower field
And with this act
Their journey is sealed.

New Direction

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 12:32:00 +0000

As evident in my college Thesis, my interest in brain function and psychology has long been established. I've now been finding that the radio programs, the news paper articles I'm most interested in are all related to the brain. Although I had attempted to address some of my interests in the painting series: 'Landscapes of the Human Brain', I have not yet really captured what it is that intrigues me, how it relates and how to express these new ideas. I suspect this is, because since this is primarily a scientific field, I feel somewhat like overstepping my area of expertise as an artist. But I'm slowing coming to realize that I must cross that bridge, be it by studying up or by clearly defining the limitation, scope and application of my series - probably both.

One item of interest that I intend to explore further is the relationship between food and creative ability. We don't really know historically, what artists of the past ate, especially not immediately prior to painting/writing/etc... However, we are now seeing an explosion of foods not suited (or so I propose), to creativity!

It's early days yet, and I may have to take a long time to research this series... but I'll keep my thoughts posted here.

Back to Basics

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 06:39:00 +0000

Artist the Bookkeeper

noreply@blogger.com (a stahl) — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 22:56:00 +0000

Why is it that one can find online tools for just about any application, but nothing that helps artists organize their 'shit'. Well, there are a few tools, but they are not very good if you ask me. But why do artists need help organizing? What do they have that needs to be organized. Not money for sure. Not property. No assets. Wait, assets. Our work often doesn't get sold for a long time (often not until after the artist is dead), but it IS VALUABLE. If you only paint for fun, you won't need this, but if you're a professional artist, you should keep track of all the work you create, all your gallery contacts, your 'clients', your shows, commissions, website inclusions, etc... If you don't do it from the get go, it becomes a bit a beast. Now, I just decided I needed to improve my own bookkeeping, as I have been slacking. When asked if painting 'X' is still around, all hell breaks loose in my house. Where is it? Is it in Germany? Is it in Ireland, the US? Is it sold? Is it in a gallery, in the studio? In storage? Is is 'hanging' at a friend's house? What condition is the piece in? Is it one of the pieces that got damaged in the flood?

Now, I have some friends who are well versed in database stuff and I'm going to take the hard route here. I am not going to subscribe to a service to do this for me, nor am I going to buy a software which I can then never migrate out of. I'm going to build a database (with some help from my friends) and somehow try to create some webpage admin for it. The idea is that I update the status of a painting in ONE place, say it gets sold, and this automatically reflects on the website. Then when I query the db for a piece, it tells me where it is and how to contact that person/gallery/place.

Bear with me, as I intend to post updates on my progress here. It may only take a year or so.... but if I do get it to work, I will be one happy camper!

Stahl presents at Pecha Kucha Night in SLO
