Hey There !

Have you ever had obstacles placed in front you that were, in your mind, much bigger than you ? How do you handle it ? Do you crawl under the bed and not come out or do you become stronger and face the obstacles with courage and a positive attitude ? This past week I had many obstacles placed in front of me that were a completely surprise. At first, for about 30 seconds I wanted to just retreat to a dark room and not talk to anyone. But then I realized that this obstacle was simply a blessing in disguise. And an opportunity for bigger and better things to come in to my life. A path was cleared in my mind and heart and I am moving forward.

My newest book Meraki A part of my heart and soul Variety Coloring Book was the biggest obstacle I was faced with this week. To my surprise it was pulled from Amazon and I had to revise this book. The revision is complete and it no longer contains any grayscale photo coloring pages. If you have purchased this book prior to April 17th on Amazon please email me and I will mail you the revised pages. As a result, my grayscale books are NO LONGER available on AMAZON. I will be releasing a NEW LINE OF GRAYSCALE coloring books featuring my own photographs and grayscale illustrations over the next few months.Stay tuned ! This is the opportunity that was presented to me and I decided to use it to my advantage and retreat to my happiest place, my studio, and draw, draw, draw.

“Anne’s techniques classes have been a great way to develop my coloring skills beyond what is offered in the color alongs. I have taken several of the classes and love Anne’s friendly, down-to-earth teaching style.”Kristen
