NEW Work In Progress

A New Painting In The Works at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival 2016

The Popular Sheep Incognito Flock By Artist Conni Togel Returns With New Flock Members

Walking through an art show, one expects to see art: big, abstract, colorful paintings. Intricate carved sculptures. pgotography with gorgeous images from around the World. Etchings, pottery, jewelry, paintings, glass pieces – all of it a beautiful reminder of the creativity in all of us.

And then Sheep happened.

Sheep Incognito, to be precise. A flock of paintings in dazzling, vibrant colors. Memorable images. Cute Sheep. 

And then there are the captions to the paintings: they take what might look like an illustration for a cute children’s book and twist it to the social, political, and humor-filled commentary about humanity that only a flock of sheep can convey accurately – and in a way that makes ewe smile.

and most definitely not what one expects to see at a fine art show – sheep don’t traditionally frequent places of high culture, but these are different.
For example this weekend:

A new painting is currently in the works at this year’s Doggwood Festival in Piedmont Park, at Booth 208, wher the Sheep Incognito flock is hanging out this weekend.

“The Good Sheep Hoarder” , acrylics on canvas, 12″x24″  will be in progress live at the Atlanta Dogwood Festival this weekend – Booth 208, near the Dog Park of Piedmont Park.

Come watch the magic in the making while I add more sheep than any shepherd can carry to this cute original acrylic painting
   

 

Revamping Some Drama

AN OLD NEW LANDSCAPE PAINTING IN THE MAKING

Art is never permanent – so in that vein, I have found one of my older landscapes, and am changing it to a more colorful place.

I think it will be happier that way…

BEFORE

 

Standing In The Light Original Oil Painting

 

I’ve added some colorful trees, and some texture so far.The sky will be reworked, and I think there needs to be a meadow happening in the foreground.

Comments and shares are always welcome!

REVAMPING

Art is never permanent…so even some of my “finished” paintings sometimes aquire new life.

This is an older landscape I painted, that needs some fresh air and paint.

It’s 24″ x 48″, oils on canvas – quite a large piece.

BEFORE:

Just A Tree – It Looks Boring

 

I am adding more trees with color, more texture on the tree, and will be changing the sky to something happier…

CURRENTLY:

 

Added Texture To The Tree


The also needs to be some meadow happening…
As always, comments and shares are appreciated!

Arielle and Kitties digital pet painting

“Arielle” and Her Kitties digital painting by ©conni tögel

 

Just finished another commissioned Original Pet Portrait Painting, painted with digital media…I am just loving this new painting process – It is portable. It’s clean. It’s fun. And, I can use the same techniques and colors I use for my oil and acrylic paintings without having to set up an easel or wash out paintbrushes. The process is actually quite a bit slower, but more rewarding.

New Custom Pet Paintings!

   
New critters are joining my flock of Sheep Incognito paintings!

Using digital paint, pallette, and brushes, and much of my real world painting techniques, I create “artified” paintings of pooches, parrots, and pot-bellied pigs now, too.

You supply the photos of your critters, and I create a one-of-a-kind original painting for you, using digital media.

Your painting will be on canvas, with original acrylic paint brushstrokes to add texture to the digital brush work, and stretched on wooden stretcher frame.

Because I work in digital media for these, you can actually choose your preferred size for your painting as well.

Just follow this link to read more, and to order your own Custom Original Digital Pet Painting by Conni Tögel:

New Custom Pet Portraits!

New on my website today: Custom Pet Portraits by Conni Togel

Pet owners usually have a close connection to their little home-owners – whether cat, dog, chicken, pig, snake, or possum, all have a special place in the hearts of the family they live with.

What could be better than having them displayed peacefully, and colorful as a piece of art in your home. Less smelly, more smiley!

Once You’ve place your order, send me some images of your critter, and I’ll get to work creating a painting you can treasure forever…
