Weekly feature: Annie Stegg

Hi everyone ! It’s time for my weekly feature again :)

This week I have chosen a fantasy illustrator whos work inspires me a lot !

Annie Stegg

She makes beautiful colored illustrations inspired by folklore, mythology and nature. Her style is so delicate and feminine and has a magic to it that I adore ! Most of Annie’s work is done in acrylics, but she also works in oils, color pencils, and watercolor.  She currently resides in Northern Georgia.

Enjoy !

Weddings & a new painting

Last week I had the honor of being the ‘best man’ at my sis’ wedding ! We had a blast and she and her husband were gorgeous and so happy !! It’s kinda weird when I imagine that my little sister (she is only one year younger than me) is now someones wife …. it’s so strange seeing younger siblings grow up ! In my mind she is still that little girl that I used to play with when we were young .. somehow the image of her in my mind seems reluctant to evolve over the years passed ^^

Shot some small pics with my phone …

 
 

Next to love, there is painting ! I started a new project yesterday, which will be called ‘Acceptance’. The idea behind this painting is very personal … at the moment I feel I have problems with accepting things the way they are. I am someone that is constantly looking for improvement and therefore I feel I cannot always enjoy things for what they are. From this came the idea to turn acceptance into an image, to help me remind myself to sit down and enjoy every once in a while :)

This is the progress so far … of course this is only basic stuff and there will be a lot more detail added before this is done!
