AL LACHMAN A

l Lachman is celebrating his 69th year as a professional artist with his annual show at the Lachman Gallery. Al Lachman continues to blaze his own trail onto the national and Bucks County art scene. Originally from New York City, Lachman has lived and worked in the New Hope area for the last 23 years and continues to create one-of-a-kind paintings in various mediums (oil, acrylic, pastel, charcoal, etc.) often within the same painting.

A painting by Lachman will not only capture your imagination but will also become the focal point of the room in which it is hung. Each beginning of a painting is different for Lachman. He explains, “Each medium has its own personality … things it can do and things it cannot. So when I put them together in the same painting, I can achieve something truly unique. I am a morning painter. I get up and I go to work. I then say to myself … how can I paint this differently than I have ever painted it before? I challenge myself with the possibility of failure so that I can find new edges within myself … but I don’t allow it to fail. I stay with it, as long as it takes, until the magic is there.”

So mark your calendar and be sure you visit this show from November 11–December 2, 2023. The Lachman Gallery is located at Peddler's Village (Shop #44), Street Road, or Routes 202 & 263, Lahaska, PA. For more information, call 215-794-5500 or visit www.allachman.com.

PET PORTRAITS BY JOE BREWER

Joe graduated from the Hussain College of Art in Philadelphia. After serving in the U.S. Army, Joe began his career at Boeing Corporation drawing schematics and then moved into freelance advertising. As the family grew, Joe worked in sales doing advertising and design for small businesses.

Joe began to display a few portraits of pets at trade shows and found that there was a real interest. After retiring from sales Joe and Rosemary started Pet Portraits by Joe Brewer in 2018. Joe has been able to merge his talent for design, engaging with customers and his love of animals into strong business tools.

Joe uses high quality pastels on 800 grit UArt sandpaper to create custom pet portraits, giving his customers a layout to approve, as

well as a “sneak peek from the drawing board” while the portrait is in process. Joe is never too busy to talk to a customer.

When the portrait is complete, it will not be a surprise but rather one that the customer has been engaged in. He will add a special toy or element if the customer desires and will design the portrait around it. His high quality and value is appreciated by his customers.

AN ARTIST’S DREAM COLLECTION IN NJ

From scaled plaster casts to museum-quality specimens, the Academy’s collection is comprised of an extensive range of artifacts and artworks students use for scholarly investigation.

Plaster casts have been used as models in artists’ workshops as far back as classical antiquity and have continued to inspire ever since. Titans such as Pablo Picasso and Michelangelo are known to have sketched from casts,” says Dr. Abbey Ellis (IAS), a regular guest lecturer at PAA. “Princeton Academy of Art continues this storied tradition, making available to their students a vast array of master-
